One of the best cooks was our daughter, Becky.  All agree she had a special touch.

She dedicated her life to working in the church.  At the age of twelve she was teaching Sunday School, leading the singing in the church, and throughout her short life she was a faithful worker for the Lord.

On December 3, 2004, Rebeca Ann Shields Eads, age 30, was called home to be with her Maker.  We miss her so.  Some days we feel we can not make it without her, but we have a promise that someday we will be with her again.

This book is about building a house in the southwestern part of the United States; though, there are many things which are in common to building a similar structure in other parts of the country.  This author conducted two years of research before embarking upon such a venture.  Additionally, for the following nine months, I filmed and photographed all aspects of the task of building the structure, including performing many tasks myself.  Yet, despite that, it quickly became obvious that those who plan to either be an owner-builder or have a house built by others, need a book like this, because it is truly an eye-opener.  In fact, it is a practical guide which provides the reader with invaluable information about the process to be followed (contained within are many images/illustrations to help the prospective house owner).  The book examines best construction practices while exposing shoddy workmanship, costly shortcuts of convenience, communication and coordination problems, and the use of inferior building materials.  The work also discusses some of the nuances unique to building in such states as Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and even parts of California.  It is the intention of this author this will help those who seek to build a southwestern house avoid many pitfalls which lie ahead; because, this is a book I wish I could have had before I began the journey.  The book also contains an index and a list of Recommended Service and Product Providers.  If you are about to build or have a house built, please see the last page of the book titled SPECIAL OFFER REGISTRATION, because as a purchaser of this book, once you have registered, you will have an opportunity to speak with the author by phone for consultations or exchange e-mails regarding the construction of your house.
