If you're handling your first fence job, you'll appreciate the clear explanation of basic fence and wall building principles. But even experienced professional fence and wall builders can use the tips and tricks explained here: setting up a fence contracting company, selling fence work, contracts, bookkeeping, and a complete chapter on estimating (with manhour tables covering every part of just about any job you'll handle). Includes blank forms you can copy and use when planning and bidding jobs.
Bill McEltOy has been in the construction industry nearly thirty years. Most of what's in this book he had to learn the hard way — by doing it. He knows how to do professional quality work, spot potential problems before they become major headaches and what to do when "surprises" come along. He compiled this manual so others just learning the trade will have at their fingertips all the information it took him years to discover. This is his second construction manual written for Craftsman Book Company.
