"The Tiny House Handbook is not an inspirational coffee-table book featuring beautiful photos of tiny houses. This book is a functional and instructional guide to planning, designing, and building a tiny house. Produced in author Charlie Wing's signature"Visual Handbook" style, with minimal text and heavily illustrated spreads, this book guides readers step-by-step through the building process from cost estimating and site planning to a completed tiny house. There are very few books on the market that reach this level of detail. This book is based on the newly revised 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) Appendix Q and includes sample construction drawings and sample floor plans for mobile (8'-wide trailers and RVs), movable (12'-wide, no transportpermit), and extra-wide (>12'-wide, permit required) tiny homes."-- Provided by publisher
Der Kurzschluss in der Positionslaterne, die klemmende Winsch oder die streikende Starterbatterie – solche ärgerlichen Pannen haben meist nur kleine Ursachen, die durch wenige Handgriffe zu beheben sind. Wer sich näher mit der Ausrüstung einer Yacht befasst, wird rasch fest-stellen, dass die meisten Geräte gar nicht so kompliziert sind. Die präzisen Explosionszeichnungen in diesem Band zeigen die Bauteile, die klaren Texte dazu erklären die Funktion: vom Antriebssystem mit Maschine, Welle und Propeller, Steueranlagen von Motor- und Segelboot, Kompass, Autopilot, Rigg und Tauwerk über Block, Winsch, Anker und Bordstromnetz bis zu Pumpen sowie Kühlen und Heizen. Der erfahrene Fahrtensegler Charlie Wing beschreibt leicht verständlich die Technik an Bord – so sind Reparatur- und Wartungsarbeiten leicht vorzubereiten und auszuführen, und man weiß dann auch, wann der Profi ran muss.
