ha, no. can anyone recommend an architectural book (or series of books) that shows good details. i'm tired of pretty architectural books that make oohhh and ahhhh but don't show construction details.
Even if you found one it's not recommended. All details are unique even if they share in the same method of assembly. The best research if available to you is old project, or past sets of drawings. Understand the logic of the detail and assembly, and the rest is problem solving to make the detail work for your particular situation
And remember, everything moves, everything leaks, and nothing fits.
