Book Description:
This revised and expanded edition of The Complete Photo Guide to Home Improvement is a comprehensive reference for planning and completing major remodeling projects. With nearly 300 projects, this book is indispensable for DIYers who have moved beyond basic home repair and are ready to tackle projects that make a big difference in quality of life-and in their savings accounts. DIYers who tackle their own major remodeling projects achieve exactly the results they want, and can easily save thousands of dollars over the cost of hiring contractors to do the work. Studio photography and the most detailed step-by-step information available make this book unique among books on remodeling. New in this latest edition are major chapters on kitchen planning, bathroom planning, and working with contractors for jobs that are big enough to require some help. Readers will also appreciate the focus on new building materials, including laminate flooring, steel framing, PEX plumbing tubing, and glass blocks. A helpful reference appendix provides at-a-glance information essential for DIY remodelers.
limited information:
Out of the selection that were available, this looked like the best to go with, but was disappointed to find nothing about replacing gutters, supposedly simple process. The pictures are good though, but have not had a chance to make much use out of it.
Very informative and explanatory:
We found this book to be essential to helping us make changes to our home. The illustrations were clear and the language easy to understand, even for beginners. Now that we've done some projects with the help of Home Improvement, we feel like experts!
Nice book!:
Nice book, lots of pictures to demonstrate the instructions. I purchased the book as a gift and enjoyed reading it before passing it on. It explained many things that I previously questioned. I think it will be very helpful to the person who wants to learn more in this area.
Love the pictures:
We bought this because we recently purchased our first home. We love how comprehensive the book is and the pictures are so helpful.
Home Improvement:
This is one of the best all around "do it yourself" books I've seen. If you work on your home, get this book! Great pictures and a wide variety of material! Bill
