(More customer reviews)I am a novice builder and bought the book as it had the plans for a shed I wanted to build and also basic carpentry skill information. The plans were going along fairly well until I got to the roof, a hipped roof. The measurements were clearly not for the eight foot by twelve foot building. The first board I cut was about a foot and a half too long. I had half a building constructed with really no idea how to build the roof. I went ahead with it and I am now faced with a completed roof frame that will not allow the sheathing to be put on because the hips are at the wrong angle at the corners. There are also several areas in the book where they contradict themselves on material thickness or size. Poorly written and even more poorly edited. You should be ashamed of yourselves for putting this book out.
