There are many jobs you can do to take care of your home when something goes wrong. At times, you will easily save hundreds of dollars if you can follow the instructions given in this classic DIY book and do some simply repairs.
Originally published in the 1940s, How to Take Care of Your Home: The Homeowner DIY Maintenance Manual was written by a man who not only could tell you how to do your own repair work, but who could actually take up the tools and do it himself. Before adopting writing as a profession for more than 15 years, the author spent over 30 years in the building business as a contractor, and was an expert in plumbing, heating, masonry, carpentry, roofing and allied trades.
In the book, you will find the answers to most of the household repair problems which plague the homeowner. Why pay someone else when you can do-it-yourself?
