Description: About this productSynopsisBuilding a good foundation is critical to any home. Is it glamorous work? No, but it'e(tm)s vital as it provides a solid structure upon which all other work rests. Written by seasoned builders from across the country, this revised edition of Foundations & Concrete Work features 15 new articles from Fine Homebuilding magazine, the most respected residential construction magazine in the country. With more than 300 on-the-job photos and drawings, this resource distills decades of hands-on, builder-tested methods and techniques and places them right into your hands. Foundations & Concrete Work, with its fresh new design and completely updated content, will secure its reputation as the most respected, widely followed how-to guide for dedicated pros and passionate amateurs.Famed woodworker and Emmy Award-nominated talent Tommy "Mac" MacDonald takes readers by the hand to create all 13 projects from the second season of public television's smash hit, Rough Cut--Woodworking with Tommy Mac.Woodworkers of all levels will love constructing both traditional and contemporary pieces such as a drop-leaf table, an Arts and Crafts-style chair, a splayed-leg console table, and a sand-shaded clock. Tommy's encouraging style will give readers the confidence they need to take his tips and techniques and put them into action. All 13 pieces come with a full plan with dimensions, materials list, step-by-step instructions, and even design options. "Road trip" sidebars allow fellow builders to visit workshops of both established and up-and-coming furniture makers, where even a pro like Tommy picked up interesting nuggets.Foundation work is not the glamorous side of home building. It is hard, dirty work. But it's also the work upon which all other work rests, and so a good foundation is critical to every home.

At 288 pages with more than 400 illustrative on-the-job photographs and drawings, "Foundations and Concrete Work" distills centuries of hands-on builder-tested methods and techniques as the finest builders in the country pass on the hard-won trade secrets for better construction. From a thorough survey of concrete basics through forming and pouring foundations to keeping a basement dry, "Foundations and Concrete Work" will serve as the definitive guide to the subject. Written by builders from all over the country, these articles are quite literally advice from the trenches.Product IdentifiersISBN-101600857647ISBN-139781600857645eBay Product ID (ePID)123584632Key DetailsAuthorFine Homebuilding EditorsNumber Of Pages272 pagesSeriesFor Pros by ProsFormatPaperbackPublication Date2012-10-30LanguageEnglishPublisherTaunton Press, IncorporatedPublication Year2012Additional DetailsEdition Number2Copyright Date2012IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight30.5 OzHeight0.7 In.Width8.5 In.Length10.9 In.Target AudienceGroupTradeClassification MethodLCCN2012-028685LC Classification NumberTH5201Dewey Decimal690.8Dewey Edition23
