Haun also provides new sections on tools, siding, ventilation, and landscaping. With Clear information on everything from obtaining a site and permit to finishing touches like installing door locks and cabinets, this is the best single-volume resource for the beginning homebuilder. Review: Best Book for Home Building Basics - I'd have given 4 1/2 stars if I could. I've built part of my tiny home using mostly this book. It was the best book (by far) I found for a novice builder. I think it would also be great for anyone wanting to know the basics of building- a habitat volunteer or budding carpenter/ apprentice. It's easy to read and It seems quite thorough for basic building but not so comprehensive that it's overwhelming- just right in my opinion. Its conciseness and readability means that there are compromises made in detail that limit it's application to basic practices. I've found (the hard way) that building even a tiny house is complex and there are often different ways to do things and it can be hard to know what's best. Often this book will explain the differences but sometimes (again for brevity) not so much. For one example, I found a window flashing method that I like better than Haun's in The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, by Charlie Wing (another good companion to Haun's book as is: Working Alone, by John Carroll). For the most part though, this book is an invaluable resource. Ideally, use this book along with one or more others (such as the others I referenced) and, if you're lucky, enlist the aid of a trustworthy builder for consultation when questions or problems arise. I needed all of these for building my house but this book has been the most valuable and trusted part of the "team". Haun also has some youtube how tos and another book or two that are helpful. Review: Well written, covers how to build a shell. - Very informative. Focuses on framing and some foundation stuff; doesn't cover electric or plumbling systems. I have a much better understanding of the process and terminology. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,764,080 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in House Plans #10 in Philanthropy & Charity (Books) #39 in Home Design & Construction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 527 Reviews | ## Images ![Habitat for Humanity How to Build a House Revised & Updated(Habitat for Humanity) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Yz60bX5sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Book for Home Building Basics *by J***S on January 2, 2016* I'd have given 4 1/2 stars if I could.
