This book is what we all need for ideals, directions and good common sense, for approaching those jobs that we think we need those high price contractors for, when owning a house. You won't regret buying this one. It's like a good neighbor, there when you need it

This book is basic, extremely helpful and will not bore you. It provides you with tons of detailed plans and instructions. That are easy to read and understand. I just wish they would reprint it ! If you ever find a copy of this book hang on to it, There is so much valuable information in it.
