The book is interesting as it lets you dream about what styles and options or garages are possible. I built a 16x24 6 or 7 years ago with the help of my son and this book reminded me of the things I have forgotten about the building process. I was going to have a contractor build my garage, after buying this book, I think I will subcontract the cement work and I will do the framing and let someone else do the rafters and roofs. The book has enough detail to permit a person to do the whole thing, but sometimes it is better to know your personal limitations.The book has links to purchasing plans for the various garages pictured in the book. The plans are outrageously priced. I saw a couple plans I would have purchased, but when I saw the price tag, I backed off, bought graph paper and am doing my own plans.The book did present some interesting storage ideas which I will incorporate into my building.I decided that I wanted swing out, carriage doors, for the garage door(s) and it has been a struggle to find step by step instructions to build your own carriage doors. This would be a welcome edition for the next edition of the book.
Will help you in building a garage or out building, especially if you haven't had very much experience. Worth the price. If you have built storage buildings or garages before, might not help all that much.
I gave this book to my son who has little building experience. He built a garage completely by himself and it looked professional.
Very detailed book on "How To..." Everything from laying a footer to hanging the rafters. Great book for the DIY person.
A lot of useful information along with clear images that provide many ideas for both designing and building a new garage. Even has great ideas for just redecorating or organizing your current garage.
Great! I've been looking for more black decker books after buying this one - just wish this one had more complicated plans
great examples and easy to follow directions make this book worth while
Very comprehensive guide --- step by step walkthrough for the beginner.
