Working Alone: Tips & Techniques for Solo Building

Working Alone: Tips & Techniques for Solo Building Book Description

This offers solo builders and do-it-yourselfers proven tips, techniques, and shortcuts for careful, precise, and safe construction. There are many times when a helper would make a job easier, and in some cases doable at all, but with John Carroll's clever, expert tips, there's no need to wait for help. This book, the only one of its kind, offers ways to get by with not only one pair of hands but to work more efficiently as well. A perfect example is the problem of bringing a large sheet of plywood up a ladder. Even with a helper this is a difficult and dangerous task. But if a large C-clamp is fastened to one end of the plywood, it's easy to pull the sheet up the ladder from behind. Professional builders and contractors who work alone or in small crews will find this book full of invaluable ways to keep the work moving, without costly delays or the need to hire additional helpers. Homeowners, who are often faced with working alone, will use these clever techniques to solve common problems safely.

John Carroll has contributed to Working Alone: Tips & Techniques for Solo Building as an author. Carroll is a widely recognized automotive authority both in the UK and the US who regularly contributes to motoring magazines.
