 Underplays underlayment November 28, 2008

I will not duplicate points made in other reviews.
Just note that the roofing (cedar shakes, and asphalt shingles) is shown without using underlayment/felt. False economy, or to clarify photos? Shingle mnfrs demand it, and it serves several useful purposes. Why would the author repeatedly stress pressure-treated lumber on the moist bottom of sheds, and yet short-change the moist TOP?!

This a great book about building stuff. I used it modify an 80 year old chicken coop into a guest house. I learned new construction techniques (pre-made ceiling trusses) and many new words. This book had everything I needed to know to construct an outbuilding from start to finish efficiently and thoroughly. I had it by my side for the whole project. Even though it's stained and dog-eared so you won't find my used copy for sale here or anywhere else.

Glad I bought this one. I had a customer looking for a shed that didn't look 'prefab' and was rustic, but "cute" (her term). I showed her the cover of the book and, with a few modifications, she was sold.
I've never built a shed but I do have some framing knowledge The info on roofing is very helpful to me. I was also psyched the section for the shed on the cover had measured drawings for the trim boards and keystone pieces for the gable ends and over the windows. Should make life a little easier for me.

This book has far exceeded my expectations! I feel confident that I can plan and build my own shed (suited to my needs and budget) and do it for far less money than a chintzy pre-fab one from a DIY store. This book has a great format and loads of helpful information, things only someone who builds sheds for a living would know. I can't wait for the ground to dry a bit so I can get started building!
