Book Review: Wow... I am totally impressed!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, so I am a new home improvement addict who has tons of dreams followed by tons of intimidation. For months, I have been flirting with the idea of installing crown molding. I have bought the equipment, spent hours at Home Depot talking with their awesome associates who are always so helpful and willing to explain what you need and why, and have even bought some of the materials I need. But I was paralyzed at the thought of getting started. Until very recently, I had never really done anything like this type of work and always thought of home improvement projects as things that I would either hire someone to do, or get used to the idea that it just wasn't going to happen.
So, I did the next best thing. I came to Amazon and started doing research on books that might teach me how to get started on this project, from telling me all the tools I need to how to use them, as well as showing how to plan for and get the project done. This book was one of 3 with related topics, but this one was the only book exclusively about crown molding. And I could not be happier!
This book explains in an easy to understand language all the steps I need to take. In a very non-intimidating and interesting way, it has got me very excited and comfortable with the idea of starting the actual work on the project as I read through it. The contents aren't boring or confusing. From details about the subject to the hands-on support we need to get started on something new, this book and its author make me feel like I have a teacher there with me, someone who really knows what he's doing and enjoys teaching his craft to others.
I'll be starting the actual work in a couple of days and have a positive feeling that I will be able to accomplish the task well and by myself.
Good luck and I hope you find in this book the help and motivation I found in it!
