Simply put, "About The House: How To Maintain, Repair, Upgrade And Enjoy Your Home" by career housing consultant and professional building inspector Henri De Marne should be on the bookshelf of every homeowner and apartment dweller in the country. For some 32 years Henri De Marne wrote a nationally syndicated home improvement newspaper column called 'First Aid for the Ailing House'. His 464-page 'how to' instruction manual in all manner for home repairs and home maintenance is a handbook compilation of step-by-step instructions on everything from roofs, foundations, attics, bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and garages, to mold, insulation, moisture, heating, cooling, air infiltration, septic systems, and so much more. Accessible organized into succinct chapters dedicated to various structures of the house, every page offers a wealth of practical, applicable, and thoroughly 'user friendly' information, advice, tips, shortcuts, techniques, and basic information for dealing with everything from electrical and plumbing repairs, to leaky gutters, decayed siding, fixtures, appliances, flooring, windows, and more. With a superbly presented Q&A format, each task or problem is presented with a description, then a solution. "About The House" is strongly recommended for both personal and community library Home Maintenance and 'do-it-yourself' Home Repairs reference collections.
