All-Weather Home Building Manual
The techniques builders in the northern United States and Canada use to keep working all winter are given to help builders in other parts of the United States reduce the adverse impact of bad weather on their work schedules. It is pointed out that builders in Minneapolis and Canada lose far fewer days due to weather than builders in more moderate climates. The manual is organized into four sections as follows: cold weather, hot and dry weather, wet weather, and weather information services. Each section, except the one on weather information services, contains chapters on excavating, foundation work, framing, roofing, plumbing, heating, electrical work, drywall and plaster, and painting. Scheduling techniques to make all - weather work possible are discussed, as are shelters, windbreaks, temporary heating, and productivity. Proper clothing for workmen is also described and illustrated. Charts present cost data, wind chill factor data, effects of temperature on concrete compressive strength, and precipitation data. Techniques for building in an excessively hot and dry climate are described, as are techniques for controlling erosion and digging foundations during wet weather. Safety problems are discussed. Each section is well illustrated with photographs and drawings and contains its own bibliography. The section on weather information sources covers both government forecasting and private weather services.
