5.0 out of 5 stars unusually helpful, March 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Porches & Sunrooms: Your Guide to Planning and Remodeling (Better Homes and Gardens(R)) (Paperback)
I could not find any other books like this that showed me all the possibilities and helped me decide what kind of room was right for our house, where to put the room, and even how to decorate it.This isn't a book about building it yourself but about getting your own goals and ideas straight before you call in the builder or the architect or the seller of sunroom additions,

5.0 out of 5 stars Provides some great ideas, July 8, 2008
This review is from: Porches & Sunrooms: Your Guide to Planning and Remodeling (Better Homes and Gardens(R)) (Paperback)
I bought this book, along with another on building additions, when I was rebuilding an old porch that was falling apart because of bad construction. I needed some ideas on what to make it look like and how to go about it. I liked the basic design of the original, but it's execution was poor. The many pictures of such a variety of porches showed me what I needed to do, and the end result of my little project is one of my favorite rooms in the house. The book shows porches in various climate zones, although all of them were larger than my project, it's nice to be able to apply ideas from bigger and fancier to smaller projects to add just a bit of elegance to what would otherwise be only average.

This review is from: Porches & Sunrooms: Your Guide to Planning and Remodeling (Better Homes and Gardens(R)) (Paperback)
The Guide would be useful to an interior decorator. I was looking for help in estimating cost and materials needed to build a porch.
