Personally, I found this book a good "back-up" to my natural inclination to go for tossed out windows, building materials and "junk" put out on trash day. I built an entire hot water heater closet on the back of my home from brand new "scrap" from a new bank building built in town. The site manager was happy to let me take HardiPlank wallboard, 2x4" , top grade plywood sheathing, and new trim pieces, as it saved him the cost of paying for removal. Needless to say the Hot water heater was free too...aquired from a guy upgrading to a bigger model- just haul it away, so I did. I cannot tell you the amount of free stuff you can get, and many owner-builders across the country do the same thing!- Charmaine Taylor |
