Title: Excellent overview
Review: During the remodel of my basement, I found this to be an excellent "guide". I say guide because I did have to supplement a couple of times (namely the drywall and HVAC sections) with more in-depth books. But German lays out everything in a logical step-by-step manner and most of his explanations are clear. I didn't run into the insulation problem that some others had because I used a separate book for hanging drywall and insulation. I think that any novice wanting to remodel their basement should pick up this book first and then get more detailed information on subjects if they need to. Everyone's experience will be different, and this book is a great overview of most of the stuff you will encounter.
