Overview
New building products are coming out almost every week. Some of them may become new standards, as sheetrock replaced lath and plaster some years ago. Others are little more than a gimmick.

Drawing on his two decades as a general contractor in residential and light commercial construction and remodeling, Frechette passes on his experience with recycled, renewable, or otherwise less wasteful materials available commercially for foundations, framing, roofing, doors and windows, insulation, bathrooms and kitchens, and other areas. He describes the material and explains how to use it, when it is and is not appropriate, and both money and labor cost. The black- and-white illustrations are mostly from the suppliers. Annotation c.
