Customer Reviews

Great book

I recently purchased a home and wasn't sure where to begin if something went wrong. This book does a great job of explaining the inner-workings of a home and demistifies how it works. I can now tackle any task around the house thanks to Lou.He does a great job of explaining in simple terms how each facet of a home works. A must read for any homeowner. He is also a great guy. I've had the opportunity to talk to Lou via email about some problems I was having with my house. He was extremely gracious and intelligent in his response. You won't be dissapointed if you buy this book.

Look out home now I know how you work!

I have a new friend in the home building and renovating business. Having this book is like having a relative that can answer all of the questions I have about repairing and renovating my home. The information is solid and easy to understand, and it will help me to make the right decisions when it comes to spending money on my home.

Great book!!!

I bought my first house, and knew nothing--and got this as a housewarming gift from my brother. It is a really terrific book! I found it easy and fun to read (which is something I could not say about the other home improvement books I have), and yet there is a huge amount of information crammed into it. It's got clever illustrations in it, which I've found really useful. I have to have a lot of renovations done and am working with contractors more than I ever imagined. This book has made it possible to talk to them without sounding like a numbskull. After reading this book I know I am saving a lot of money, and I've got a good feeling that I am spending my money on the right things that will improve the value of my house in the long run. Even if you think you know something about houses, GET THIS BOOK!!!

Different kind of book for your home

Now I get it. We just bought a new home and need to do a bunch of work. Lou's book helped me understand what to do first and how and what we should use. Also to do it right and what it should cost. Good stuff
