Review: This book has some really great photos to look at and get ideas from. I would remind anyone that buys this book that it is primarily for newer homes or homes built after 1980 and on with the newer building codes and specs. I mean most of the instructions and photos are based off of those types of homes, so if you have a older homes with a wet or leaking or humid basement that was built before 1980 or 1970 then this book is not going to help you a whole lot. The finish ideas in this book are very good with excellent instructions and steps to follow that work but only on the newer built homes. The methods or ideas for correcting or fixing your humidity or leaking water or wet basement problems are not addressed in this book and you will need to seek out other sources that do. This book is very good at giving modern finish ideas for how to frame in walls, load or non-load walls, step by step. It also is very good at showing how to install bathrooms in basements that are the same as in this book otherwise you will have to seek other sources for help. The photos of demonstration are excellent, the book shows. This book also shows you what type of tools to use on your projects in the basement, it also gives very good planning steps and ideas, along with how to estimate your material needs. The best thing about the book is that it is very good with showing how to finish out a room or new bathroom or whatever type of room you decide to build or finish out in your basement, it also gives tips and ideas about the most basic of codes for building which is good. I would definitely recommend this book to others and I am glad I bought it, for I got out of it what I needed and wanted, many good ideas with excellent photos and instructions for basement work. Review: I have been planning basement renovations for years, and done a little here and there. While my basement is OK, I want it to be better than OK, so I started reading up on basement renos, and this was the best of the books on the subject I could find. It opens with some examples of what can be considered and done, then goes into all the aspects of a basement renovation you'll need to do it yourself (mostly) or know what a contractor can do for you (and how to tell if they're doing it right). I wish I knew some of this stuff when I did my basement a decade ago, as I would not have to rip stuff out and redo it! Still, with this book's content I know I'll be able to do a much better job this time around. Recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (177) | | Dimensions | 20.96 x 1.59 x 27.62 cm | | Edition | 2nd Updated ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1591865883 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1591865889 | | Item weight | 953 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | 1 September 2013 | | Publisher | Cool Springs Press | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to Finishing Basements (Black & Decker): Projects and Practical Solutions for Converting Basements into Livable Space - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ThG3TEAYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***S on 14 November 2013* This book has some really great photos to look at and get ideas from.
