Comments from our editors:
This lavishly illustrated guide is essential reading for anyone contemplating the restoration of a wooden house. Packed with practical information, the book offers advice on everything from the proper approach to restoration, historical research and ways of hiring a contractor to care and protection of wood, paint stripping, eliminating carpenter ants, and much more.

The book includes an historical survey of the wooden house in North America, plus landscaping, additions to existing structures; the exterior of houses from roof to foundation; the interior of houses from floor to trim; as well as a special section on log homes.
