Mike Holmes
Format: Paperback
A great book but not a lot of information that I had expected! Better off watching his show and save your money on books!

Got my book!
Format: Paperback
I received my "Mike Holmes Kitchens and Bathrooms; Expert Ideas and Great Advice", by Mike Holmes book today! It arrived in perfect condition and even though I was expecting it to be spiral bound, it's not a big deal to me. I am just a fan of him and his work and love watching his shows. My daughter and SIL are the project doers in the family; my late husband was not the "project" type! Lol, far from it, but we had a lot of phone numbers from our 44 years. Since his death, I now live with our daughter and SIL, and two grandchildren. I appreciate AceBook getting the book to me in a timely fashion. Thank you! ... show more

Kitchen & Bath
Format: Paperback
Clearly written, good detailed information with checklists for attacking the project. I was more interested in the bathroom section, but still found the kitchen section interesting.

Valuable as expected
I have been so impressed by Mike Holmes 'Make it Right' programs on Cable TV in Australia that I have been inspired to actually tackle a bathroom renovation in this house. It was new when we moved in 34 years ago but could do with some attention now! I intend to do the work myself but before I started I wanted to have Mikes's advice readily available, hence my purchase of this book. The book contained less technical advice than I had hoped for as a 'do it yourself' renovator but it was still very valuable. The Kitchen will be tacked shortly and Mikes's advice on Kitchens will also assist this future project. The reader does need to recognise that difference in climate and building regulations between Canada and Australia may affect such projects. ... show more

Basic info, but I was after more detail
I bought this book because we are planning a major bathroom remodel. I've watched the Mike Holmes shows on cable and liked the information. While we aren't planning on doing the work ourselves I really wanted to get information on things I should watch for in the bids, specific questions to ask the contractor, materials to specify and what to watch out for as things they might try to cut corners on. I did get some of that, but really wanted more. For example, on the cable shows I always see Mike using this orange material for waterproofing in showers and around tubs. I know it needs to be installed in a specific way and I was hoping to find that in the book, but it wasn't included. In fact, the whole section on waterproofing simply stated to make sure it is done right. A catch phrase doesn't help me. So, there is some decent general information, but I wanted more detail and it wasn't in the book. ... show more

Read this before you do any remodeling
Format: Paperback
This should be your First Resource before embarking on a kitchen and bath remodel. It's very readable, even when discussing all the details about plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation and insulation. You get Mike's professional opinion on everything from flooring to skylights, cabinets to lighting. There are so many photos of great ideas and some examples of shoddy work that you might not even notice at first. After reading this book, you'll be much more confident in choosing and working with contractors. You'll know what goes into a well-built cabinet and how to pick out cheaply-made fixtures. He provides a lot of photos and illustrations and I value Mike's opinion because understands that some people have modest means but still want the job done right. Most homeowners only care what their kitchen and bath looks like on the outside but knowing what goes on behind the walls, under the floor, and above the ceiling is so important. After reading Mike's book, I made some important changes to my project, changed my mind on the type of cabinets I will order, and have much more interest in working with the contractor and tradesmen and women during the project. Instead of clearing out, I'll be an active observer. I will be able to ask them questions about what they are doing and understand the answers. I will be able to recognize expert work and know when they might be cutting corners. ... show more

Great Guide to Renovations and Many Useful Tips
Format: Paperback
I read through most of this book and found that it gives homeowners much useful information about planning your kitchen or bathroom renovation and also give useful tips such as, when renovating your kitchen and considering whether to purchase commercial grade appliances or a commercial-look, I had no idea that actual commercial grade appliances, such as a stove used in a restaurant, needs special clearance around the stove, knobs are not childproof and, some insurance will not cover a commercial stove used in a residence. There may also be city codes against this so, I'd say that this book is a must have for anyone planning a renovation. ... show more
