AN OLD-TIMERONCE TOLD ME that the key to working effi-
ciently on any building project is to avoid stupid mistakes. I think
he had the answer to half the equation. Knowing that you should
measure a board twice before cutting it once and that you should
remove masking
tape before the sun bakes it onto the window is
important. But
it's the clever solutions to common construction
problems that make up the other half of the
equation.
Builders are a resourceful, gregarious lot. They delight in
com-
ing up with ingenious ways to do things faster, with greater
accuracy,and typically with tools and materials already on hand.
Luckily,builders like to share their ideas, whether standing in
the
checkout line at the hardware store or sitting on a tailgate with a
favorite
beverage in hand at the end of the day.
For
the
past
25
years,
Fine Homebuilding has
encouraged readers
to submit their gems of use-
ful wisdom. The ideas are presented
in our "Tips
& Techniques" column, where builders
offer up
their
job-site
brainstorms, and they're
scattered
throughout articles and other departments.
This special collection brings together some of
the best advice we've received addressing both
halves of the working-smarter equation. Here,
you
willfind professional-grade guidance on
how
to avoid mistakes and how to work more
efficiently, taken from a variety
of
feature
articles on topics such
as framing, drywall, and painting. You also will find
a
wide range
of tips acrossthe entire spectrum of tasks that make
up this
occupation and this passionthat we call home
building.
ff you'd like to find out more about Fine Homebuilding, please
turn to
p.121
for more information, or check out our Web site
at
www.finehomebuilding.com.
And if you've got a tip that you'd
like to share,
send it in. Join the
party.
