This revision of Black & Decker: The Complete Guide to Home Masonry updates much of what made the original book a best-seller, but also answers the latest building trends by featuring exciting new information and projects. In addition to the tried and tested project information on building with concrete, brick and block, the book features all new, state-of-the-art information on decorative concrete finishes, including acid colouring, stamping and using paints. Another new section shows easy methods for casting concrete in forms to create countertops, garden benches and other accessories. Also included are new projects for building retaining walls with tumbled concrete block, facing concrete slabs and steps with natural stone and ceramic tiles and creating outdoor rock gardens. With so much information packed inside this volume, this is the only guide required for all the reader's masonry and stonework needs.
