Question:

I want to build a fence and deck for my house. I have never done such large projects or dealt with wood for complex projects. Any books or advice you would recommend.

Answer:

This is about the easiest of all. If you can't find all you want and more at www.homehelpnet.com, any lumber yard will have a whole shelf of free brochures on fences and how to build them. At the same time, you can get a cost quote for materials and they'll be happy to give it to you.
