[.uk] Drywall: Professional Techniques for Walls & Ceilings (ISBN 156158133X)

Very necessary if you're a beginner drywaller.:
I had never even watched any drywalling before I plunged headlong into remodeling a room in my home. I read through this book, went by Mr. Ferguson's step-by-step advice, and ended up with a job that I am quite proud of. My only regret is that I chose not to texture. I painted the finished walls with a semi-gloss paint, and if the light is right, you can see some of my sanding marks. This year I removed a door and patched the hole with drywall. His instructions were invaluable, and yes, I textured this time. It looks great. Thank you Mr. Ferguson!

Outstanding!!!!!!!:
This was my first time drywalling. Mr Ferguson's book was invaluabe to me having a sucessful project. After having water damage from a broken pipe to my finished basement, I got estimates from contractors... Determined not to pay those rates I forged ahead on my own completing the project for a fraction of the estimates. With Mr. Ferguson's step-by-step advice, I ended up with a job that has professional quality. Ferguson gives you everything you need from the choice of proper tools to using screws over nails to how to make repairs. Simply Outstanding! Thanks Mr. Ferguson!

Great help:
I bought this to prepare for drywalling the small storage area under my stairs for the kids to use and it had all I needed to get the job done effceintly. If you'v never drywalled before and need to this will help.

This is the old version:
Buyers beware that the picture of the book shown is not the actual book that's for sale. If you click on the picture then you will see the actual book which was published in 1996 and not the 2002 version which is shown in the picture. The date is posted in the product details section but if your like me and just look at the picture you will be very disappointed. I've heard nothing but good things about the 2002 version but this version seems out of date and the illustrations are not as good. Hope this helps someone avoid making the same mistake I did. The newer version is worth spending the extra 5-10 bucks on.

is this guy ever done drywall??:
This is a terrible book. It is loaded with bad techniques and misinformation. It's pages of pages of garbage. he talks about drywall as if it's an art form. Stay away from this book!!!!
