Customer Review
This book has helped me finish two basements in the last 5 years. Both basement projects were very different in their requirements, but the advice in this book was invaluable for both. I highly recommend that you purchase and use this book for a basement finishing project. The framing section in particular was very helpful. I do wish that it had had a section discussing using conduit in walls instead of just Romex; since I live in the Chicago are which does not allow Romex in new construction.

Customer Review

We are in the "dreaming" phase of our basement remodel. I checked this book out from our local library along with 6 others and this was, by far, the best of the bunch. It provides you with a ton of different pics of basements with a variety of design purposes (i.e. media room, workout space, playroom, bedroom, etc.). In addition, it clearly outlines valuable points to consider with each aspect of the design (e.g. the pros and cons of each flooring choice). I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about remodeling their space and needs to see possible ideas to flesh out exactly what they want before contacting a contractor or architect. This book is truly a lifesaver...I even bought my own copy after I couldn't renew it from the library any more!!

Together with the Finished Basement Edition book, here you can find almost all possible cases of the finished basement ductwork installation. It is why I would recommend you to purchase them both.

However, this particular book has its very significant value too. For example if you are a professional installer you don't need a detailed explanation on how to measure, cut and crimp a pipe and so on, but because nobody is doing this kind of work on a daily basis this e-book would be a great tutorial for any of you!

For the same reason if you a homeowner and hire an HVAC Company you need to know what they are doing and show them a picture or two of how this or that should be done!

Codes are a fact of life for do-it-yourselfers, but getting good information on codes can be a nightmare.

Codes for Homeowners combine decades of experience by author and IRC-certified home inspector Bruce Barker with Creative Publishing’s famous studio photography, and the result is the first truly clear and easy to use codes reference book for homeowners and tradesmen alike. Current with 2009 International Residential Code

Basement Ideas that Work

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 2007 Finding extra living space without adding on might be only a flight of stairs away. Homeowners with a basement have the unique opportunity to turn unused space into a great living space--all without adding on extra square footage to their home. In fact, finishing a basement is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to increase living space in a home. 


Customer Review

This is very useful if you are finishing your basement yourself. This is not a how-to-manual though. (If you are looking for a how-to I suggest TAunton's Build Like a Pro.) This book is for the planning process. Great photos and ideas on what kinds of rooms you can create with all of that basement space. In addition, each section highlights the major planning considerations for creating that space. From traditional to modern, this book was the best and most current for basement ideas.
