Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Once you've redone the house itself, Quick & Easy Garden Design Projects can help you perk up the immediate surroundings. Pergolas, ponds, statuary, foliage and outdoor furnishings are among the elements of outdoor design given attention, along with container gardens and bedding plants, by Faith and Geoffrey Whiten in this solid, introductory volume. (BBC/Parkwest, $24.95 160p ISBN 0-563-36714-8; June)
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
With humor and insight, renovator and mediator Rusk guides the reader through the process of home renovation using vignettes from two projects. Both are set up as "projects from hell," where the homeowner is ill informed, the contractor opportunistic, and the result less than desirable. Through his thorough negotiation techniques, employed at every step of the renovation process, Rusk shows the way to a successful project and identifies the major problems in a renovation?money, time, power, management, and quality?and their effective resolution. He takes each project through mediation to a successful conclusion, but the terror and suspense are sufficiently maintained to be truthful and interesting. Appendixes discuss building materials for various projects and sample language for contracts and mediation. Recommended.?Alexander Hartmann, INFOPHILE, Williamsport, Pa.
