 A Book Review of Norm Abram’s New House - B4UBUILD.COM
While Norm would much rather follow in his carpenter father's foot steps and build his own home, he felt that his busy schedule would not allow him to devote the necessary time.
As you might expect, after looking at the quality of the houses that he and his wife liked, it wasn't long before he realized he would not be happy until he found the time to pursue his dream.
Norm explains the construction process from lot purchase to move-in and there are just enough fl and white pictures and drawings to help the reader visualize the work along the way, although it would have been nice to see a few color photographs.

 UMass Magazine alum Norm Abram New Yankee Workshop
Norm Abram himself, while often imitated, is a never-duplicated kind of guy.
Abram had a predilection for engineering rooted, he says, in a boy's fascination with building things, with cars, with jet engines, and with science fiction stories especially the Tom Swift series.
Having had a taste of being his own boss, Abram was reluctant to return to being one of many tradesmen on a job site, even a televised job site; he acquiesced, he says, only because 1979 was a down year in the construction industry.
