Great Book - A little Optimistic

This is a great book to read before selecting flooring materials as it provides a lot of valuable information on the installation, maintenance and repair of the floors. It also shows how different materials fit together. There are step by step directions, but no time allowances for band-aids or such. They try to make it look like Joe Homeowner at work but there's not a beer can or half eaten hot dog in sight. However, there are a lot of shortcuts and very good advice on the things that usually take years to learn. There is also advice for those who need to heed the "Do Not Try This At Home". Sage advice not to undertake a major floorinig project just before a holiday with a family gathering. Looking at some of the time allowances I think they are optimistic, even when adjusted for beginners. Highly recommended.
