Good Basic Bathroom Makeover Info and Projects

This is a well-written book that clearly explains what's involved in a bathroom makeover and what constitutes an economy, mid-range and high-end makeover. There are projects for bathroom redo's including installing ceramic tile and other flooring; removing and installing a vanity and pedestal sinks; installing tub surrounds, lighting, vent fans and countertops; building a glass block wall and window and more. The projects are well illustrated and the explanations are clear and easy-to-follow. Not only does the book contain clear pictures and good projects, but it also includes information about each element in the bathroom. For example, on page 29, the page is devoted to sink materials and discusses the pros and cons of all kinds of sinks even cast iron and glass. Reading the book and looking at the photo steps makes the bathroom makeover projects seem possible as a Do-It-Yourselfer. Great book, well written and photographed. Definitely recommended.
