### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poorly edited, a ton of repeat information
*by A***N on September 30, 2021*

There are so many typos in this book, some so pervasive that it hinders comprehension. The cost of the book is high, probably in part due to so many full color printed pages. Could these have been reduced? Absolutely. There are 24 iterations of a tiny corner of a basement detailed, occupying two pages each. The differences between them are sometimes miniscule: a single insulation layer moved from this side to that. Still, it's a useful primer if you're going to jump into creating these details for yourself.
