I'm a beginner Do-It-Yourselfer. This book helped a ton!
The past headaches and nightmares of having contractors perform my remodeling projects has motivated me to become "handy". One of my first projects was drywalling my master bedroom. I had zero experience doing this so I bought Ferguson's book and went to work. The room looks great thanks to this book. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to avoid the expense and frustrations of using contract help for their drywall projects.

The best do-it-yourself book I've ever read.
I never knew there was so much to drywall. I've read this book several times while remodeling my house and find a new tip every time. Most books of this type leave much to be desired. This one is truly helpful and comprehensive.

A simple to understand step-by step guide to drywall.
I have done quite a few DIY drywall projects in the past. All the written resources I have used before have left a lot to be desired, unfortunately so did my results. This book is a four course meal with dessert. I wish I had three hands so I could hold a taping knife, a hawk, and this book, all at the same time. This book comes as close to a step-by-step guide as you can get. The target audience is definately the homeowner Do-It-Yourselfer. Great Job Mr. Ferguson, and Taunton Press! I'm going to do brick work for my next project, I hope I find a book as good as this one to help out.
