You need this

Oblivious as usual, I had no idea how much I'd appreciate it when I bought this book the same day we put an offer on our house. I bought this and a similar Black and Decker book. This one is far superior. I have referred to this book and found something useful for every project. Siding, roofing, framing, insulation, wiring, gutters, concrete, and windows are just a few projects supplemented by information from this book. Even if it does not answer my question, the information in this book usually points me in the right direction for a subsequent internet search or additional book purchase. I probably refer to this book weekly for my own house projects.
