Summary: Plumbing a House a true Hands On Guide
Review: A friend recommended this book to me, and I can't thank him enough. This book has all the descriptions, charts and helpful "real plumber" tips you need to plumb your entire house or just a room or tub. Other self help books I have used miss the mark with only half the story. They leave out key info needed to actually do the job, and seem better suited as "coffee table books." This one delivers from A to Z, with everything in between, and can really be used to plan, start and finish the job. Contains lists of plumbing tools needed too.

Summary: Comprehensive, Complete, Educational
Review: After searching a few videos and visiting the local hardware store, I was frustrated at the lack of information available about the specifics of general plumbing. Plumbers must hate this book because it outlines in detail many of the tricks of the trade. I am building my own home and have obtained all of the information I need to perform the job in this book with the exception of the septic system. There are plenty of illustrations that cover everything from tool and material selection, to rough in plumbing and finish plumbing. The writer obviously knows a thing or two about plumbing, as I was able to avoid several pitfalls by following the advice in the book. This is hands down the only plumbing book you need, unless you need septic information, which this book does not cover at all.

Summary: On to Peter Hemp's next book...
Review: I first read "Plumbing a house" on loan from the library. The book was so complete, I HAD to buy a copy as a permanent reference. Today, I return to Amazon.com to purchase Peter Hemp's book on installing and fixing plumbing fixtures. If Peter's second book is half as helpful as "Plumbing a house", it will be well worth the money! (Thanks Mr. Hemp).

Summary: Plumbing a House
Review: I purchased this book and then had to purchase "Installing & Repairing Plumbing Fixtures" by the same author. Excellent book for anyone designing/building/remodeling a home. Great reference of plumbing "systems" including a chapter on fuel-gas and venting. Not to mention tools and materials references based upon use/test over time experiences. I'm in the process of designing/building a home and this book has been a great source for discussing/specifying materials and techniques to my builder.
