Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Builder's Guide Though there is considerable original matter in the following pages, and though a large portion of that which is not new, as to substance, is entirely so, as it regards manner and language, yet, taken as a whole, it claims to be no more than a compilation. Before concluding, therefore, it will be proper to specify the authors whom I have either consulted or made extracts from, as well as the other sources of aid that I have enjoyed, in compiling this book.

Download or read book Restoring Your Historic House The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners written by Scott T. Hanson and published by Tilbury House Publishers and Cadent Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to accommodate contemporary life in a historic house. This book does not repeat basic information that is readily available in many standard DIY books about carpentry, wiring, and plumbing. Rather, it shows how to adapt those DIY skills to the specialized needs of a historic house. Although there are other books about renovating old houses, this is the first that prioritizes the identification and preservation of the historic, character-defining features of a house as a starting point in the process. That is the purpose of this book: to describe and illustrate a best-practices approach for updating historic homes for modern life in ways that do not attempt to turn an old house into a new one. The book also suggests many ways to save money in the process, without settling for cheap or inappropriate solutions. Scott Hanson is a historic-building preservation professional and has 40 years’ experience rehabilitating historic houses. He has illustrated this authoritative book with hundreds of step-by-step photos, illustrations, charts, and decision-making guides. Interspersed throughout are photo essays of 13 restored historic houses representing a range of periods and architectural styles: Italianate, Victorian, Queen Anne, Federal, Colonial, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Ranch, Adobe, Craftsman, Shingle, and Rustic. With interior and exterior photography by David Clough, these multi-page features show what can be achieved when a historic home is renovated with a desire to preserve or restore as much historic character as possible.

Download or read book Builders Reliable Estimator and Contractors Guide written by Frederick Thomas Hodgson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders' Reliable Estimator and Contractors' Guide: A Complete Guide for Pricing All Builders' Work It is the fate of books on estimating for builders that they soon become somewhat unreliable, no matter how exact they may have been when first published. This is due to various reasons, - the continual fluctuations in the prices of labor, changes and introduction of new mate rials, new methods oi construction and style of building. Since this book was first published, the changes made in the cost of labor and in the selling price of material have been wonderful, and it may be said that buildings today are fully twenty-eight per cent more costly than they were when this book was first published. Recently prices have risen so high and at such a rate, that it has been found difficult to keep in touch with them. For three or four years past, contractors have either made or lost a lot of money, for they either have run up big prices, or, in sticking to conservative figures, have suffered losses to a considerable amount.

This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has been said, with truth, that an inherent love of things mechanical finds a more or less definitive place in the character of every Englishman..." So begins The Motor Cyclist's Handbook, a wonderful text from 1911 that describes in detail the operation of early motorcycles. Created by Charles S. Lake, who wrote weekly columns in The Model Engineer magazine, the book was an instant classic. Today it is just as readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders: Published Under the Auspices of the Chicago Architects' Business Association; 1904, Seventh Year Attention is drawn to the Ordinance governing Sidewalks and Vault Covers, which is published for the first time as amended; it is an important matter and a place is gladly given to it. The Lien Law, in operation from July, 1903, is still new to many users of this book, and it is again inserted as valuable information. Important additions are made to the items connected with weights and measures, and data inci dental to Brewery work are added. Papers on Asbestos, Iron Construction, Varnishes, The Modern Store Front, Magnesite Construction, The Architect - His Rights, Remedies, Duties and Responsibilities, and other practical matters of every-day interest are given prominence and are worth reading and study. Extended tables of safe loads for White and Yellow Pine are inserted and will be found exceedingly useful and time-saving. They have been most carefully worked out, and may be accepted as authentic. The lists of City Officials, Members of the Municipal Art League, Civil Service Commission, Licensed Architects, Illinois Chapter of the Ameri can Institute, Chicago Architects' Business Association, Architectural Club and other organizations, are inserted and corrected to time of going to press. It is impossible in this introduction to enumerate all the features of information in this year's issue; suffice it to say that the enquiries for the Handbook from every State of the Union, have been such that no opportunity to meet the requirements of the many users of the work is allowed to slip by. Again, thanks to the advertisers who have made this possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders The degree to which the architect is essen tial to the building program approximates the extent to which he will be employed. If the job seems to be able to run without him he is classed as a luxury, to be avoided in the interest of building economy.
