Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for homeowners

This is a great book! Just about everything having to do with finishing walls is here -- there is even a helpful chapter on framing a partition wall if you are feeling ambitious. The instructions are straightforward and sequenced well. Each section has a materials list that includes alternatives. All phases of the instructions are illustrated with clear, uncluttered photographs. I had this book from the library, and renewed it too many times to count! If I was making improvemennts for a new edition, my only change would be a better index, but otherwise this book is perfect.
