  • Very nice book, but probably a 4 1/2
As a carpenter / remodelor, I purchased this book for design ideas for basement finishing. The book has some great ideas, but many do not seem like they are for basements, and so I often find myself using them for other remodeling projects as well. I as wrote, there are some great ideas in this book, but they all are geared toward finishing off basements under ideal conditions. Every room seems to have high ceilings with pipes and ductwork that is already inside the floor joists, a situation in which I rarely find myself. Many of my clients live in older homes around the metro Detroit area that have lower ceilings with even lower pipes and ductwork. I was hoping to find some great ideas for those spaces in this book. Can pipes and ductwork be moved as part of the project? Yes they can, but that either inflates the budget or steals money from other areas of the budget, neither of which is most profitable for me since it requires additional subcontractors (the expensive kind), so I was hoping to see some designs that worked around such issues. Again... I love the book. it has great photos or great design ideas, but these ideas just require ideal working conditions, which most of us do not have. ... show more

  • Over the top!
This book only had basement ideas that would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. It would be nice to have a book for those of us that are middle class, hard working folks!

  • Pretty bad, even for a design idea book
I bought this hoping to get either structural or design ideas. It contains almost no structural or layout suggestions. It really should have been named "Decorating Ideas for Basements". 90% of the basements shown are hideous. Some look like someone with $$$ to burn decorated a dorm room while drunk. Others look like a caricature of "wealthy", and simply look expensive and tacky at the same time. Most of the rooms don't meet construction code, either. I suspect a lot of the rooms shown aren't actually IN a basement in real life. Great designs for your basement if it will never contain kids, pets, neighbors, family, or the sighted. ... show more
