Advice from an expert. Now I'm ready to buildish a house.

I had fun reading it. Lots of it was words and terminology that I wasn't really following but then there's pictures and I could say to myself, 'Hey, I've done something like that before.'

RIP Andy. The fifth star is in memoriam.

This was definitely written by a carpenter, poorly. The information was ok but the writer had a condescending tone the entire book.
