Description

Russell C. Moody (ed); Gerald E. Sherwood (au). Wood-frame houses have long been the prevalent form of shelter in the U.S. As a result, some houses in most mature communities are either outmoded or in deteriorating condition. Routinely, some are razed & others are simply abandoned. In either case, they are usually replaced with new living units, which is expensive & uses additional resources. If the house is demolished, the cost of waste disposal must also be considered. Many houses could be rehabilitated, which costs less than new construction & saves considerable materials. This handbook discusses in-place evaluation techniques & rehabilitation methods. Information about increased energy costs, health considerations, & fire safety is also included. Illustrations.
