Except for remodeling out first home, my wife and I had no
experience in building yet dared to built two homes: a custom one
for our growing family and, later, one for our retirement. Though
the book is well illustrated, it is not a step-by-step instruction
on how to build a home, but one well detailed in all phases of
construction. . Our retirement home, built with concrete blocks,
reinforced with steel, is a more permanent structure. Let me put it
this way: it is not an overstatement if I say our retirement home
will last thousands of years, one that will have people wondering,
who the heck built a Greek temple on a California mountain? We did
not go into the project blindly. The key words are research and
taking the time to visit building sites. In my work clothes of
white shirt and tie and with clipboard for taking note, I was seen
by most laborers as a typical office worker doing his tedious job.
Please try to be unobtrusive while questioning workers in different
stages of construction. Carpenters were helpful in demonstrating
the safe use of power tools. Stucco men loved to show off the
different textures they created, Spanish lace their favorite. I
strongly recommend that my readers visit construction, and please
get permission from a job foreman. Good luck.
