1 out of 5 stars american imperial nutters   June 3, 2006
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

although this book gives u ideas on how to progress with some roofs don't even think you can use any of their calculations if you were born before 1969 this is an inchers dream but alas can't help thinking metric is better this guy even uses a calculation so inches are used as metric then calculates back to work out how many 16ths aaahhhhhhhhh


4 out of 5 stars Very informative   January 13, 2006

I found this book very informative and will be sharing this book with my apprentices to teach them from basics to advanced roofing. Yes it is in imperial but if you look on the other half of your tape measure there it is. feet and inches. I think it's important for people to learn imperial as well as metric because not everybody uses metric. Ok most people do in England but you are bound to encounter it at some stage. Very good book

1 out of 5 stars Imperial measurements!   April 4, 2005
 15 out of 21 found this review helpful

Oh dear, it's a US book, all written in Imperial dimensions, does not even use angles in degrees! The good thing was it forced me to think the whole thing through from first principles, and I made a nice little spreadsheet which does all the dimensions for common rafters, only got 1 jack at each end, so will do that with a peice of string!
