About half the costs of any building project is the labor, and, by doing it yourself, you can construct your building more economically, or even put up a larger building on the same budget. But another important benefit of building it yourself is the satisfaction that comes from improving your own landscape and surroundings. A well-constructed barn, shed, or outbuilding can be a source of pride for many years -- and will also enhance the value of your property. In "How to Build Small Barns & Outbuildings," Monte Burch takes readers step by step through the fundamentals of general construction -- from planning and laying out a site to do-it-yourself instructions on framing, roofing, wiring, plumbing, and much more. Zusammenfassung Taking the mystery out of the construction process, Monte Burch provides complete plans and step-by-step instructions for building more than 20 barns and outbuildings, including a greenhouse, equipment shed, horse barn, and even a small guest house. Stressing the adaptability and utility of the designs, this guide covers everything from initial planning and laying out a site to framing, roofing, wiring, and plumbing. Save on construction costs, enhance your property value, and take pride in a job well done as you build your own custom-tailored barn.
