描述
Statistics tell us that interior home remodeling and maintenance jobs – patching and repainting walls, for example – are the kinds of projects most often tackled by homeowners. The author’ s objective is to address all of the most popular (or at least the most common) tasks that have to do with floors, walls, and ceilings and to offer the kinds of insights and techniques that will help those doing the work achieve the most professional results possible.
Gary Branson brings a wealth of experience to this do-it-yourself guide. His premise is that, no matter what the project, there is only one best way to do anything. In this book he shows that best way.
Every chapter includes detailed, step-by-step instructions, all supported by photographs and/or illustrations. Everything implicit in the title of the book is covered, for example: all you ever wanted to know about plaster – its composition and uses, hanging and finishing wallboard; patching walls and ceilings; interior painting soundproofing and fireproofing using wall fasteners and hanging pictures; working with paneling and moldings applying wall coverings, installing floors and floor coverings – hardwood, vinyls, carpet, and more; coping with a variety of ceiling options, from hanging acoustical tile to installing a drop ceiling.
