building book

Jun 06, 2005 4 Replies

Having mastered the art of slightly bendy wall building on the weekend (to be continued), what's regarded as the best book for building techniques? Primarily, I'd like to know just what goes into building an extension. I'm particularly intrigued by how builders approach fitting lintels in place within an existing structure.



I have no interest in the stages of drawing up plans and planning permission - we're way past that.

Can't answer the questions but I have always wondered how they stop the building from falling down after they remove the bricks and before they put in the lintel.

You and me both - LOL!

Acros and needles or Srongboys.
