Just got done printing out multiple PDF files for use in the course.

I have also added content dealing with new home construction of Post and Beam (being built in Chicago, fer' gosh sakes!) and a special treat from fellow NACHI member, Steve, in Washington, who has graciously agreed to share his photos.

NACHI helping NACHI. What a concept.
