Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
In its most basic description, a patio is simply a section of outdoor pavement close to the house, but when one considers the potential future use, structure, aesthetic appeal, and design of a satisfying, well-constructed, and good-looking patio, a lot of planning and understanding is necessary before initial excavations and construction can begin. Ortho's Patio Plans describes with clear language, full-color photographs and illustrations, and step-by-step instructions 14 different patios for nearly every site, purpose, and outdoor use imaginable, using a wide variety of materials. From the initial planning and design to the completed patio, the reader will find thorough guidance for creating the dream patio. All 14 patio plans are easily customized to individual needs, sites, and personal tastes. --Mark A. Hetts

From Library Journal
These books are designed for the do-it-yourselfer who is comfortable using power tools. Home Offices, Patio, Bathroom, and Kitchen Remodeling all cover planning; practical considerations like adding plumbing or electrical wiring; and evaluation of surfaces, fixtures, appliances, and furniture. Storage goes through each room of the house supplying recommended storage solutions. Quick Home Improvements contains both simple and complex projects that can create decorative highlights to both the interior and exterior of the home. All have clear, well-illustrated instructions on how to accomplish the projects and will be excellent additions to any public library.
