The manual is excellent for the experienced to the inexperienced Habitat volunteer. The quality of the pictures and illustrations takes a lot of guesswork out of the building process, particularly for those of us who may only do a certain construction task one or two times a year. If your objective is building a quality Habitat for Humanity home, this is the construction manual for you.
awesome!!
