about this book: I believe this 3-book series is an important new introduction of beneficial information into the standards-of-the-industry in the field of building design and construction.

At a glance...conveys the idea of a picture being worth a thousand words. The over 400 illustrations and the images in this book, with a bare minimum of required explanatory text, provides the reader with a quick yet exhaustive boost up a level into the savvy information database of identifying and preventing housing design and construction "bugs."

Volume 2 represents 18 years of basic field research working as a construction superintendent, bank construction inspector, and project manager.

Because every topic is illustrated...builders, architects, and interior designers can translate applicable topics into new details on the plans, insert information into the specifications and into the contract scope of work sections, and include topics as items on construction schedules.

The theme of this book is the pursuit of excellence...the quest for information that will help everyone working in the housing construction industry to move closer to the ideal of perfection in design and construction...thereby increasing confidence, competence, and performance.

I enjoyed the writing and illustrating of this book...very satisfying to be able to input helpful information into my career field of building construction.
