Description:

The Habitat for Humanity Charlotte Construction Manual has been formally adopted by the Board of Directors as its Approved Building Methods. It includes more than 450 pages, over 570 photographs, 115 detailed construction drawings, and step by step instructions on tasks that HFH Charlotte regularly asks its volunteers to complete. The manual is very specific for how HFH Charlotte builds its homes (both Standard and Historic styles). Even if your affiliate doesn't build exactly like we do in Charlotte, we hope that you find portions of the manual helpful. It is designed to encourage leadership as well as a high level of productivity, efficiency, and quality. Chapters include: Floor Framing, Layout, Framing, Vinyl Siding, Exterior Trim, Insulation, Drywall, Painting, Interior Trim, Storage Shed & Appendix. Preview is in color. Book can be purchased in color or black and white. Lulu sends all of the author's proceeds directly to Habitat for Humanity Charlotte

Incredible detail in an easy to navigate layout. Perfect tool for home improvement with hundreds of photographs and easy, step-by-step instructions. For anyone that's purchased a "fixer upper" home this manual is great! Safety notes in every section serve as great reminders for supervisors too.

Whether you are working with Habitat as a volunteer, building a shed of your own, or adding to your home this is a tremendous tool for making sure you do it right.
Easy to read and great illustrations. Don't start a job without it.

Very detailed. It would be usable for non-Habitat folks too as they work on their own homes.
