Amazon.com Review:
This is a joint project between the editors of Better Homes & Gardens and the Home Depot, and much like their earlier collaboration, Home Improvement 1-2-3, they cover a lot of ground in this big, detailed book. Clear, step-by-step instructions and diagrams for just about any outdoor project one can imagine--from deck building and maintenance to building a retaining wall to making outdoor furniture to installing an outdoor faucet or constructing a customized fountain--it's in here.
A very useful series of features throughout the book helps guide the homeowner: 'Skill Scale' assesses the skill level needed for individual projects; 'Trip Saver' helps save time and money, eliminating numerous trips to the store; 'Safety Alert' warns of potential dangers on given projects; 'Oops!' describes common errors and boo-boos and helps find solutions; 'Designer's Corner' helps the reader with design and style choices.
Overall, as a comprehensive and nitty-gritty guide to all of the most common outdoor projects, this is a perfect book for the novice, but will have information and shortcuts for the experienced homeowner and do-it-yourselfer, too. --Mark A. Hetts
