Reviews

Shepherd (Be Your Own Contractor, LJ 12/92) and Morledge used their practical experience to make sure that this how-to guide to designing and building your own home had good, sound advice. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the building process. Part 1 describes the site, from finding the lot to zoning and building codes to drainage and how to determine the best location of the home. Part 2 emphasizes the exterior components of the house with special design features, architectural and roof styles, and the use of decks and garages. Part 3 highlights the interior aspects of designing the home, analyzing floor plans and room placement, and offering practical suggestions for making the best choices. Several appendixes conclude the book with detailed information concerning windows and doors, finishes, flooring, cabinets, energy efficiency, heating and cooling, plumbing, and electricity. Comprehensive as well as practical, this is recommended for public libraries.?Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib., Johnson City
