2.0 out of 5 stars Great place to start for ideas, But..., March 25, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This book offers a very extraordinary group of ideas in the form of sketches, however that is as far as you will get with the 101 projects you can build yourself. Each project has a plan number that requires the speculative do-it-yourselfer to spend 20 to 85 dollars on a blueprint that most profesional builders won't even touch. In summary, the plans are too complicated for the weekend warrior, and the materials needed to build these elaberate structures will blow any do-it-your-selfers budget. You can get some good ideas from this book, but that is it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Catalog of plans for sale, August 17, 2006

By	JagSam - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Garages, Sheds & Outdoor Buildings: 145 Projects You Can Build (Paperback)

This book is basically a list of plans for sale by the Hanley Wood Company. Most of the designs look rather dated to me, I would guess many of these were designed in the 1960's and 70's. I didn't find any particularly interesting or useful ideas here, most designs were either very simple or much too ornate & contrived for my taste. It's rather misleading to call this a "book" and say it was "wriitten by" and author, it is really more of a large sales brochure dressed up as a paperback book.
