Room Addition Books

I was browsing the internet the other day and came across a website that sold books on home building. It had a very nice color scheme and was easy to use. As a website designer, I showed this website to some of my friends, who are interested in home remodeling and repair. My friends and I love to work at home and often get together for larger projects, where we can work together.

I am planning to build an extra room for my expanding family and have done a little of everything. For example, I removed and built new walls in my house, added electrical light switches, replaced the kitchen sink faucet, and even fenced in the bathroom floor and tub surround. In my business, we have to do a lot of reading and research and I really wanted to build the room addition myself, more out of a sense of pride and accomplishment than to save money by hiring a contractor.

I also love working with my family and friends on projects like this. Anyway, going back to the website I found on home building books, I found books and ordered them, one was on foundations and concrete work, this book provided me with the basic information needed to build the foundation for my bonus room. The book was simple and easy to follow and I would recommend it to anyone interested in building their own base.

The next book was on green building and this book gave me information about home building that I had never thought of and put a lot of other things into perspective. I have this book more for myself than for my project. The third book I bought was on plumbing called Plumbing Remodeling and it was very informative as I was going to install a bathroom in my bedroom addition. This book had a lot of the information I needed on installing plumbing fixtures, preliminary plumbing, and finishing plumbing. I also recommend this book for novice homeowners and handymen.

The fourth book I bought was Precision House Framing [http://www.bookshelf4u.com/house_framing_books.htm] and this book is my favourite. I love to build and this book explains everything with easy to understand and follow instructions. Did I say I loved this book? Anyway to make a long story short, I built my bedroom addition and a lot of it for these books. I really recommend the home building books website for anyone interested in home repairs, home building, new construction, and even feng shui.
