Customer Review: I Searched a lot for the right DIY book and this was the best option I found. I liked the pictures and the advice. I thought it very thorough. Of coruse things don't always go as easy or smooth as discussed in the book, but that is hardly the book's fault.

I just wish that all books of this type would be spiral bound so they would lie flat when you need to have... more info
Customer Review: Finally, a Not So Big optimized for those not stick-building their own home. Not only is revamping an existing home a greener option than building new (no matter how sustainable), it's often more financially feasible.
