Foundations and Concrete Work

Foundation work is not glamorous, but it is the work upon which all other work rests, so a good foundation is critical to every home. No source of knowledge on foundations and concrete work is better respected or more widely followed than that provided by the authors of Fine Homebuilding magazine. This latest edition from the editors of "Fine Homebuilding" is the biggest and most authoritative volume yet on the subject. "Foundations and Concrete Work" distils centuries of hands-on, builder-tested methods and techniques as the finest builders in the country pass on the hard-won trade secrets for better construction. From a thorough survey of concrete basics through forming and pouring foundations to keeping a basement dry, this book will serve as the definitive guide to the subject. Written by builders from all over the country, these articles are, quite literally, advice from the trenches.
