Review
"Selected weekend projects are featured here; from an under-sink detergent holder to a home office storage system. Basic tools and a prior interest in handyman projects will aid homeowners in appreciating this title, which includes the measurements and design specs essential for translating a storage suggestion into a finished product." (Midwest Book Review )

This review is from: Storage Projects You Can Build (Weekend Project Book) (Paperback)
They really thought up some great storage ideas in this book-my favorite has totally reorganized my kitchen-I built the storage unit for inside the door panel beneath the sink-now I have my dishwashing detergent, soap, sponges, and dishwashing gloves tucked neatly away with easy access! I highly recommend this book.

Sounds great,
By A Customer
This review is from: Storage Projects You Can Build (Weekend Project Book) (Paperback)
I havent actually read this book but I saw the authors on Home Matters and it sounded like a pretty good book. There is (to my knowledge) lots of projects for begginers to try, things like cabinets and storage boxes. The cabinet that they built on the show was pretty easy to make and I think I could have done it myself. You should definatly check it out.
