Publisher's Synopsis
Building codes are a fact of life for DIY builders, but getting good information on these is a nightmare. Anyone who has ever opened a code book ( or even a code interpretation book) looking for an answer to a building, wiring, plumbing question finds the same thing: arcane, technical terms, endless cross-referencing and small print, pages of charts ? and nothing that makes any sense. This book combines decades of experience by author and IRC-certified home inspector Barker and the result is the first truly clear and easy reference book for homeowners and builders alike, current and up-to-date.
