The Illustrated Dictionary of Building Terms by Tom Philbin
This book is an authoritative reference with definitions of all the terms - standard and slang - used in residential construction. But it is much more than that, too.
Engagingly written with many humorous anecdotes and abundant illustrative drawings and photographs, it is also highly readable, providing informative sidebars, shortcuts, shop hints, and other information vital to anyone working in the building trades.
In easy-to-use alphabetical format, this reference clearly defines up to 15,000 terms-everything from "horse feathers" and "mud job" to "screwed off" and "wolves in the walls." Adding dimension to written explanations, many words and techniques are pictured as well.
