This was exactly what I expected. In the professional engineering circles, it is important to maintain the latest specifications on which your analyses must be based.

If you are acting as a contractor on your home or garage project, then this book is invaluable to make sure that the subs are building to code or making sure that you are building to code. As an retired contractor and engineer, I've come to realize over time that codes actually do have a purpose in life besides making the building process a pain. The old farm house I bought probably wasn't built to code and it shows. A lot of farmers around here have to get up on their out-building and shovel snow because every year one or two more of their buildings collapse. br / br /The book is well organize by project phase so things are easy to find--cement pad, walls, floors, roof, etc.

This Christmas we gave this book to our son, at his suggestion. He is a residential Architect working in Kansas City. I asked him what he thought about the book, after having time to review it. His response was, "Tell them its irritatingly indispensable." br / br /Amazon is always outstanding in the supply and delivery!
