House construction

I am glad I took a chance on this book however, I don’t see this at all as Level -1 Beginning to Read book. My son is an advanced reader and will be able to read this with or without me. However, for a child who is “Beginning to Read” I really see very little here to encourage the child’s participation vs the parent reading to the child.

I was a landscape/ concrete contractor looking to get more into the excavation side of things. This book is a one stop shop for basically anything involving excavation. It covers everything from pulling stumps and digging foundations, up to digging quarries and mining procedures. Obviously parts of this book will not apply to your needs, but the chapters are set up well and you can pick and choose what you want to read. Though I’m no longer in business, it’s still a great reference book to keep on the shelf. Highly, highly recommended!

Very relevant to todays modern equipment, but at the expense of leaving out methods and informatio on older equipment that was included in earlier editions.
