Default The Building Bidness

"Swingman" wrote

Speaking of "The Building Bidness", and once again ... anyone, pro or diy,
with any interest in home building, should be required to read "House" by
Tracy Kidder. It's been years, but I still cherish the overall read, which
explores every angle and POV.


Forgot to mention ... one of the builders in Tracy Kidder's "House", Jim
Locke, who "epitomizes true craftsmanship", subsequently wrote a book called
"The Well Built House", that is equally, if not more important, to those
ever wanting to practice beating themselves over the head by doing so.

HIGHLY recommended also, as just a damn good read for most wooddorkers.
