Here is what people are saying about the Working Alone: Tips & Techniques for Solo Building
 "This guy's good!!!" | 2010-02-05 |
| - Reviewed By S. Hoover from North Carolina |
As the owner/operator of a handyman service I am always trying to add to my list of jobs I can do without
assistance. He mentions a few ideas I have discovered on my own that I know work, and a lot more I might not
ever have thought about. I hesitated buying the book due to a couple of bad reviews, but I'm glad I ignored
them. If you are a weekend "honey-do" man or a sole proprieter you should find several very useful tips in this
book.
As for any bad reviews-if you are so good at what you do to criticize this book then why are you reading
it in the first place? Because of you some people might miss out on a real gem. I'd be interested in how your
skills stack up against John's. Not well, I would imagine. |

| "yep, I'll get it" | 2009-10-27 |
| - Reviewed By -D- from Riverside, CA |
| I read the negative reviews in their entirety and decided for sure to buy the book. Provide objective feedback if you have it. Otherwise, it reads as sour grapes. I'm taken aback that some professionals fail to extend professional courtesy when commenting on the work of others. Also, the engineer's comments are embarrassing, but certainly are his right to make them. The book is $20. Move on and give it to a friend that might find it helpful. |

 "Best checked out from the Library" | 2009-10-10 |
| - Reviewed By Mechanical Engineer from Canton MI |
| As a full time Engineer, I was looking for a guide to help me with weekend projects, as I plan to build a large garage/shed in my back yard. Working alone was a bit of a disappointment. There were some valid tips on how to work solo, but a large part of the book was dedicated to measurements and how to calculate the hypotenuse to get things squared. Personally I use a CAD package to draw up plans for my jobs which gives me all the angles and diagonal distances I need. Perhaps I am just used to do fancier math than Hypotenuse = square root of ( opposite squared + adjacent squared) . It seemed to me that the target audience was professional builders / contractors that had always worked on teams, and were now looking at branching out on their own. Not for do it yourself-ers who were looking to learn solo building tips. My personal recommendation is to check this book out from your local library so you can learn the "Solo Tips" but don't buy it to keep as a how to reference manual. |

| "Save some pain" | 2009-07-11 |
| - Reviewed By B. Carter |
| Like some other reviewers here I've got a fair bit(15 years) of building experience,much of it working alone.I 'invented' some of the ideas in this book for myself and I remember the pain that forged such revelations. Carrol can save you much of it-just absorb his methods and reasoning and you have already jumped ahead years on the learning curve.I love geometrry and had no problem with that part of building,but I was impressed by how simple and straightforward he is in presenting the calculations for basic problems. |

| "very nice" | 2009-05-16 |
| - Reviewed By week endwar ior from grants pass oregon usa |
| lots of good ideas that i will be using, i enjoyed this book and showed it to other people in the trades who also were impressed by some of the techniques,Because most people in the trades never work completly alone a lot of professionals dont know these ideas. however; John if you are reading this i would like to have this available for my kindle. |

| "Uncommonly Common Sense" | 2008-07-01 |
| - Reviewed By Dave from Stratford, NJ United States |
| If you use just one or two tips from this book (and you will) it is worth the investment in time and money. It is well written with simple concise instructions and advice. A little humor goes a long way toward making this an easy enjoyable read. |
