5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for basic remodel, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Bathroom Remodeling For Dummies (Paperback)
If you are kinda handy around the house but worried about diving into a full tear down remodel, this is a good book to buy. You will either decide to go ahead with confidence, or bow out, or at least know when you should call in a contractor to take care of the plumbing and electric. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic and Easy for Beginners, December 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bathroom Remodeling For Dummies (Paperback)
My husband and I purchased this book because we wanted to try and remodel one bathroom by ourselves. Some of the projects we attempted (new floor tile) and they turned out pretty good. Replacing the tub was beyond us and we hired someone to refinish it. So the book was money well spent. If you want a step-by-step guide on how to do very basic bathroom remodel, this is a good place to start.
