Modern Carpentry : Building Construction Details in Easy-to-Understand Form 2003

Description: Modern Carpentry is a colorful, easy-to-understand source of authoritative and up-to-date information on building materials and construction methods. It provides detailed coverage of all aspects of light frame construction. Included are site clearing, site layout, foundations, framing, insulating, sheathing, roofing, windows and doors, exterior finish, interior finish, and mechanical systems. Units are arranged in a logical sequence-similar to the order in which the various phases of construction are performed. Special emphasis is placed on safety and the use of modern tools, materials, and prefabricated components. Information about building materials includes size and grade descriptions and also basic technical information that covers physical properties and other important characteristics. Scientific and technical discoveries have led to the development of many new materials, such as engineered lumber. The proper use and application of these materials depends on a crafterson with considerable knowledge of the materials and how they will function in a completed structure. Use of prefabrication has also had a significant impact on how homes are constructed on-site. Industry statistics indicate that over 30% of new homes are now either partly or wholly constructed in factories. Modern Carpentry includes basic information covering stair construction, chimney and fireplaces, systems-built structures, solar construction, remodeling, cabinet-making, painting, and decorating. Modern Carpentry also serves as an introduction to other building trades. Information about electrical wiring, plumbing systems, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) has been included to provide more exposure to related business trades. Modern Carpentry contains more than 1600 carefully selected photos and draw-ings. Illustrations are accurately coordinated with written instructions and descriptions that are easy to read. Modern Carpentry is designed to provide basic instruction for students in high school, vocational-technical schools, college classes, and apprentice training programs. It can also serve as a valuable reference for students in architectural drafting classes and for journeymen carpenters and construction supervisors. Modern Carpentry will enable do-it-yourselfers to handle many construction jobs that they would otherwise be reluctant to undertake.
