Not Helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiots Guide To Finishing Your Basement Illustrated (Mass Market Paperback)
I have just started a "finish my basement" project. This book was not helpful. I am glad that I purchased other books as I haven't even used this book at all. It is extremely elementary and gets into things like what a finishing nail is. I found the other books to be much more helpful in actually helping me know what to do to start the work.

Too superficial to be helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiots Guide To Finishing Your Basement Illustrated (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is long on generalities but completely lacking in specifics. There are MUCH better books out there if you are looking for a DIY gide - the Sunset book is fantastic (and has color pics!) has all the same material as this book but also includes comprehensive treatment of the different jobs involved and inludes step-by-step instructions with detailed pictures to actually help you along. This book includes none of that and I can't really think of a single reason to purchase it with better books on the market. The Black and Decker guide to general home improvement is also good.

Very helpful how-to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiots Guide To Finishing Your Basement Illustrated (Mass Market Paperback)
This book does an excellent job of stepping you through a basement finishing project. It provides help on every step, including some basic electrical that a novice like me can do. If I had one complaint it would be that the pictures are not in color, and some of them are rather small, so when I was looking for ideas on planning the basement, this book wasn't very helpful. However, it's a great help in assessing what needs to be done if you'll be doing some or all of the work yourself.
