If you are a Commercial and Industrial Level roof repairman, this book is a must. Manufacturers and producers of roofing materials show us only how to apply a patch, not how to find the actual problem within a reasonable amount of time so the proper repair can be made. This field guide teaches investigative solutions for roof related problems in a professional and complete manner. There is not a single field guide in the world that covers such a complex subject with so many variables and possibilities. You will learn how to solve simple roof related issues quicker, and be more certain about non-roof related issues that mimic a roof leak. If you wish to increase your understanding of the craft and have more options, this field guide is for you.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
