Modern Carpentry is a well-illustrated, easy-to-understand source of authoritative, up-to-date information on building materials, tools, and construction methods. This comprehensive, introductory text provides strong, detailed coverage of all aspects of residential and light commercial construction, including site preparation and layout, foundations, framing and sheathing, roofing, windows and doors, exterior finish, stairs, cabinetry, and finishing. The text also features special topics, such as chimneys, fireplaces, and decks, and familiarizes students with other aspects of the building trades with chapters on plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. The textbook strongly focuses on safe work habits in handling tools, materials, and prefabricated components. The chapters are organized in a logical sequence similar to the order builders use to complete various phases of home construction. This edition includes increased coverage of safe work practices, building code requirements, and essential soft skills for carpenters. Various features throughout the text include Code Notes, Procedures, Construction Careers, Workplace Skills, Green Notes, and Safety Notes.
