Simplified Stair Building by Greg Vanden Berge

>> Thursday, February 26, 2015


If you looking for a step-by-step instruction booklet on building stairs, you're in the right place. We took stair building to the next level by adding plenty of easy to follow illustrations, tips and pictures.



That's not all though, I'm going to provide you with lots of of free videos, articles, pictures and access to a website, that's devoted almost entirely to building stairs.



If you're looking for a complicated book that will teach you how to build circular, curved, bracket type or any other type of stairway that would require complicated mathematical formulas, this isn't the book, for you.



Simple and easy, not complicated and difficult. Building stairs isn't as difficult as some construction experts make it out to be. Don't fall into the old trap that you can't do it, impress your spouse, friends, neighbors and in-laws by building an incredible stairway to your new deck, garage loft, front or back porch or even inside of your home, with this simple and easy stair building book.



More than half of every stairway built today is going to be straight. Whether it goes from one floor to the next or it has a stair landing located somewhere in between, the basic principles of stair building are definitely located in this book.



You can apply all of these beginner stair building techniques in this e-book to almost any type of stairway construction. This book does provides you with the essentials of fundamental stair building.



When the famous coach for the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi met his football team for the first time, he held up a football and said," This is a football." In order to be good at anything, you need to understand the fundamentals and Vince Lombardi knew this.



We can't build a good stairway with out the understanding the basics and the basic start with knowing how to select and use the right types of lumber and other building materials, especially if you're planning on building a stairway that going to last a long time.



"Building Stairs Doesn't Get Any Easier Than This"



You can build a fantastic stairway and this book provides you with the knowledge necessary to accomplish the task. Remember, the title of the book is Simplified Stair Building, it doesn't get much simpler.



Why pay should you pay a professional, when you can download this book today and start building your own stairs immediately.



In the e-book you will learn how to lay out one stair stringer and then use it as a pattern to mark and then cut out the remaining stair stringers.



The biggest problem with stair stringer layout is what to do or what not to do at the top and bottom of the stair stringer. Stair stringer layout is probably the most important part of stair building.



$$ Get The Book Contractors Use And Save Money $$



That's right, even contractors use this book to build stairs, even though they don't want you to know about. Stair building is one of the most difficult parts of building a home and some of these professionals make thousands of dollars every day, doing something that you could do on your own, if you had the knowledge.



I made between 200 and $2000 a day, installing and repairing stairs. One time I was replacing damaged stairways on an apartment complex, making $1600 in less than five hours.



That's A Lot Of Money.









About Greg Vanden Berge


If there's one thing I can say about myself, it's that I will never stop learning.



I will never stop asking questions or looking for answers that make rational sense.



I was born and raised in Southern California and was the product of a dysfunctional family. That might sound a little harsh, unless it's put into perspective. Most of us come from dysfunctional families, we just talk about the bad ones, to make ours look a little better.



I probably wasn't much different than most children, growing up in the 1960’s. I had an older brother and a younger sister and we lived, in a single story home, next to a river bed.



If I wasn't at school, playing at a playground or playing sports with my friends, I was either walking my dog or riding my bike, down the river bed. These truly were some of the most memorable times, of my childhood and I had a lot of fun.



It wasn't long before I started to put some of the pieces, of the puzzle together and realized that some of the things, I was taught, weren't true. Then I realized that most of the adults I knew, didn't always know what they were talking about, either.



Around the time I was 15 years old, I realized the world of maybes, possibly and I think. I would ask someone a question and they would respond with,” I think this is what happened or even I know for a fact, it could have happened, “ but that was about it.



This is when I finally accepted the fact, that if someone doesn't know what they're talking about, they will provide us with a perception, of their version, of the possibility, of something that could have happened, but might not have.



By the age of 20, I realized that some of the questions I was asking weren't ever going to be answered, rationally. If I wanted to find the truth, I would need to find it, for myself.

Eventually, I went to work, building homes with my father and became a contractor, at the age of 25. I didn't know it at the time, but I was about to receive an education, on life, that you couldn't get, in school.



I met some of the most fascinating characters, with some of the most fascinating stories and life’s lessons, you could imagine.



I learned a lot from these people about life and hope I never forget them. You can also learn a lot, from people around you, simply by keeping your mouth closed and your ears and eyes open.



It wasn't long before I was married and the father of three children. We did most of the things other families, in our community did and were involved in a wide variety of activities. The P.T.A., children's classrooms, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and eventually Boy Scouts.



However, like all good things, it didn't seem to last and it wasn't long, before my first marriage was over and along with it, one of the biggest mistakes, I ever made.



Within a few years after my divorce, I started to realize that there was more to life than working as a contractor. I no longer felt the urge to build or repair other people's homes and wanted to do more.



I wanted to impact people's lives and make an extraordinary contribution to humanity. That's when I started building websites, making videos for Youtube and writing.



I wanted to share my knowledge with everyone, including people who haven't even been born yet. I have currently written over 30 books and have become an international best-selling author.



I'm remarried to a spectacular woman and still live in Southern California.



My goal is to get people to start thinking about things they believe and do something about it. Just because someone tells you or creates an illusion that they're telling you the truth, doesn't mean, they really are.



Think about it.



Greg is also the best selling international author of more than 30 books.

A Wind Turbine Recipe Book 2014 English Units Edtion by Hugh Piggott

>> Wednesday, December 10, 2014


For the first time the Wind Turbine Recipe Book is available for North American readers (using inches and AWG wires) in ebook format. The Recipe Book covers all aspects of building wind turbines in a range of sizes. These proven designs combine simplicity with efficiency and reliability. These turbines are used to all over the world to provide electricity using local manufacture.



This is the June 2014 ‘English’ units edition of my ‘Wind Turbine Recipe Book’. It describes in detail how to build a turbine in each of six sizes from four foot diameter to fourteen foot diameter. The Recipe Book has become a classic for small wind turbine builders worldwide and has been translated into six other languages since it was first published in 2008. Every detail of carving blades, winding coils and assembling complete turbines is covered. These are real wind turbines that actually stand up to real world use, charging batteries or even connected to the grid via suitable inverters.

This edition is fully updated with numerous new ideas and refinements that did not appear in the older editions.

There are several sections of general interest, but most of the book is very specific to the stages of construction, and has dimensions for each size of turbine tabulated alongside diagrams and text. At the end you will find a set of basic drawings of the four main types of head for the turbines.

This ‘English’ units edition is for readers who prefer to work in inches rather than millimetres, and it is based on using a magnet block size 2” x 1” x 1/2” because this size is more readily available in North America. Do not use metric (46 x 30 x 10mm) magnets with the inches dimensions in this book, or inches-sized magnets with the mm dimensions in the other, metric edition.









About Hugh Piggott


Born in 1952, educated in Edinburgh and Cambridge. I have lived off-grid on the remote Scoraig peninsula in the Scottish Highlands since the mid 1970s. I have designed and built a lot of wind turbines, and also teach courses and write books so that others can learn how.

I am still very active building, installing and maintaining wind, hydro and solar systems for neighbours and other clients.

A number of organisations around the world have adopted my designs and teach courses themselves or build wind turbines. (http://www.windmepowerment.org) I spend a lot of time helping people with their projects and answering questions over the internet. I rely on sales of my books for income but to a large extent my work has become "public domain" or "open source" which is great so long as I continue to make some kind of income.
