Renovation 4th Edition: Completely Revised and Updated Description
Review
This is a book I wished I'd had when I started building...What differentiates this book from others of its ilk is that the author has gathered all this information in the field, interviewing carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and contractors, finding out what's important, what works, what's new. These guys love to talk about what they do well, and in this sense, the book is one of collective wisdom. It's at the same time highly useful to professionals, but also one that's invaluable for homeowners and people of the fixer-upper persuasion. --Lloyd Kahn, ""Cool Tools""
""Michael Litchfield is the rare export who has not forgotten the confusion that new renovators often feel. His writing is easy to follow and encyclopedic in its breadth.""
--Katherine Salant, Washington Post
""a masterpiece"" -- Library Journal
""Hands down, the best home renovation book...written in a down-to-earth conversational style that's comprehensive, practical and easy to understand."" --This Old House
""Simply the best book we've seen on the subject."" --Toronto Star
""The most comprehensive single volume on home renovation ever."" --Popular Science
