Synopsis:

Cramped for space yet reluctant to build an addition? This book, which replaces our old book of the same title, shows you how to find space you may not know you had and convert it into useful living areas.

Review: Lively photographs show how rooms, which were normally used for storage, have been turned into spacious sitting rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms. The book takes you through the remodeling process step by step, from surveying the area you want to redoing the wiring and plumbing. -- Additions & Decks, Women's Day Specials Interest Publications

One of the primary purposes for home remodeling is to take advantage of underutilized spaces like unfinished basements, attics, or garages. Added living space for growing families without the expense of costly additions or the trouble (and expense) of moving to a larger house. Adding Space Without Adding On covers planning and design of the new space, framing the attic, basement and garage framing, installing skylights, finishing walls and ceilings, building stairs and framing floors, building dormers, installing windows and doors, putting in wiring and plumbing, installing flooring, trim, and molding. Dozens of colorful photographs exhibit delightful design alternative. More than 550 full-color drawings illustrate construction techniques in detailed step-by-step procedures. Adding Space Without Adding On is ideal for novice remodelers and do-it-yourself weekend projects. -- James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review
