Working Alone: Tips & Techniques for Solo Building

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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

very nice -
lots of good ideas that i will be using, i enjoyed this book and showed it to other people in the trades who also were impressed by some of the techniques,Because most people in the trades never work completly alone a lot of professionals dont know these ideas. however; John if you are reading this i would like to have this available for my kindle.

Working Alone review -
As an individual who has worked on numerous home projects, but until now have not undertaken building a complete home from beginning to end, I find this is a beneficial book to own. The sections on framing and roofing, and ideas as to how to go about doing each, by oneself, were what satisfied me with having made this purchase.

Uncommonly Common Sense -
If you use just one or two tips from this book (and you will) it is worth the investment in time and money. It is well written with simple concise instructions and advice. A little humor goes a long way toward making this an easy enjoyable read.

Working alone -
I have no read the entire book, however at a glance, I can see that there are many helpful ideas. Surely worth the $

Dobra pozycja dla pracujcych samotnie -
Dobra ksiaka dla pracujacych samotnie lub dla tych, ktorych pracownicy zostawili "na lodzie". Zawiera sporo przykaldow jak dac s obie rad samemu. Autor zwraca te uwag na to, e niektóre prace powinny zostac wykonane przez podwykonawców ze wzgledu na wymagane doswiadczenie lub regulacje prawne. Polecam. Wydane pieniadze nie beda zmarnowane. Jest to dobra inwestycja.
