4.0 out of 5 stars Just purchased and it looks great!
My only reservation so far is ALL the copying of forms to make the book more re-useable (btw this is suggested in the book). Be sure and turn up the darkness setting on the copier, because the pages are printed in very light colors.

OK, so what about the rest of the book? It looks fantastic. It encourages the reader to carefully consider all the steps of a home...

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, as far as it goes
I read through this book after reading Diane Plesset's book, "THE Survival Guide: Home Remodeling", and was somewhat disapointed in the content of this book. Yes, there are questionairs, but Ms. Plesset's are more complete. Yes, there are cost guides, but again, Ms. Plesset's are more complete.

The general tone of the book is that of an "expert"...

This review is from: The Home Renovation Workbook (Home of Your Dreams) (Ring-bound)

The general tone of the book is that of an "expert" talking to a "beginner". I would rather have a conversational style that doesn't talk down to me. . .

I'm glad to have this book, but if I had only one to purchase, that purchase would be the other one.

OK, so what about the rest of the book? It looks fantastic. It encourages the reader to carefully consider all the steps of a home improvement project. So far it has really made me focus on the important issues of cost and scheduling.

Worth the money? I say yes!
