Negative Positive
Title: Told me to "consult a professional"...thanks!
Review: I specifically ordered this book because of drainage from a sloped lot which ends around my crawl-space foundation. When I went to the section on drainage swales which is what's required to reroute the water around the house, it showed me a picture of what one looked like and told me to "consult a landscape architect"; well if I wanted to pay a professional I didn't need to waste money on a do-it-yourself book! It reminded me of medical books that are full of "consult your doctor"...thanks for the info. As for the solutions to other problems in the book, I haven't reviewed them in depth, but they look pretty basic. I suppose it could be useful for somone who want's a basic overview on "what can be done" instead of "how to do it", for example if they wanted to hire a contractor, so I'll give it one star more than the minimum for that.
Is the review positive or negative?
