Description and Table of Contents
Description
The entries, ranging from foundations and footings to the fixing of roof tiles, cover bricklaying, joinery, plastering, brazing, soldering, plumbing, shoring, lightweight concrete work and the fixing of doors and windows among explanations of a host of other processes, tools and materials. There are many terms of special interest to DIY house-owners who want to find out about damp-proofing and plumbing, for example, or double glazing and security. There are also some extra terms particularly relevant to the student and professional builder, and the dictionary is illustrated throughout with explanatory line drawings.
