Book excerpt: Excerpt from Use and Abuse or Wood in House Construction Home building is a fascinating undertaking in which careful planning and consideration for features Of enduring worth will yield large returns in the form of lasting satisfaction. TO build these values into a home is not an insurmountable difficulty. It is a matter Of selecting, through proper design, the features that secure these values and then Of taking care that they are properly installed. Regardless Of whether the responsibility for the complete job is placed in the hands Of competent professional advisers or borne wholly by the individual, much mental ease is derived from one's own knowledge that the house is well-built. It is also a matter Of cold business discretion to make sure that a house is so constructed that it will not present annoying problems Of repair and maintenance. It is the purpose of this publication to assist in identifying good construction where lumber and other forest products are used.
