Description
Get those home projects you've been putting off done—and up to code. All of the most common standards are addressed in this new edition of BLACK+DECKER Codes for Homeowners, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and construction. This guidebook goes beyond simply reporting the codes, it interprets them for you and explains them clearly, with color photos and simple graphics. This 4th edition is current with the 2017 National Electrical Codes, 2018 Uniform Plumbing Codes, and 2018 International Residential Codes.
Written by national codes expert Bruce Barker and created under the supervision of BLACK+DECKER Corp., Codes for Homeowners does what no other code book accomplishes: it makes codes and building standards simple to understand and visualize, so you can be assured that your DIY projects are safe and will pass inspections.

Wow, I did not realize that there were so many codes for homeowners. I like that this book tells you what the code is and why it is important. This book is not for the feint of heart. I was reading through it and I know I have at least one building code violation in my house. This book is perfect for do it yourself-ers and for handymen of all types. I would love to hire a handyman who knew the codes and could show me the reason he could not complete something as asked. I would hire him over the person who says I can get it done but does not complete the work to code.

Manages to make a dry, potentially intimidating subject very approachable. Plenty of photographs and illustrations to break up text blocks. A useful addition to a home collection or a public library. My one complaint with Black & Decker titles like this is the lack of diversity in the photos--nearly all subjects are white and male.
