Book Description

Feb 1 2006 Owner's and Instruction Manual
At Last! A Beginner’s Guide to Home Technology
 
Water stains on your ceiling. Dents and cracks in your drywall. Radiators that hiss and gurgle all night long. It’s enough to make you cry out, “Why doesn’t my house come with an owner’s manual?” And now—finally!—it does.  
 
Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, The Home Owner’s Manual explores hundreds of frequently asked questions: What’s the best way to fix a leaky faucet? When should I have my chimney cleaned? How can I reset a circuit breaker without electrocuting myself? Whatever your concerns, you’ll find the answers here—courtesy of licensed building contractor Dan Ramsey, who has taught the basics of renovation to thousands of homeowners.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected Aug 8 2006
By S. Priest - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sadly, this book spends more time being funny than it does offering sound advice and instructions for actual home maintenance. If I had bought it for entertainment purposes, it would have been great, but I got it to help me care for my home...something it doesn't do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy Feb 26 2013

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this product as a gift for my brother who recently bought a new home, he loves the book! It has a ton a useful tips and guidelines on day to day maintenance and simple problem fixes
4.0 out of 5 stars Great and fun (and somewhat informative) for novice homeowners Jan 17 2013
By Lindsay Lennox - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this book for an engineer friend who recently moved into his first house (after many years of apartment living). The writing style makes it geek-friendly, and provides a way to ease into home maintenance - definitely not a full guide, more an intro and demystification for those who've never had to think about caring for a home before.
