5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a must-read for any home buyer or owner.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How a House Works (Family Handyman) (Paperback)
This book is a rare blend of the fundamentals of residential construction, expressed in the most friendly language. Duane has an unusual two-fold gift to understand all the technical aspects of our homes and the ability to communicate that expertise in the most approachable manner. It's like having the 60-year wisdom of a construction foreman and a dutch uncle in your back pocket. I have given copies of this fine book to all my nephews and several friends.

An awesome, easy to understand look at a house.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How a House Works (Family Handyman) (Paperback)
I've looked at a lot of "home" type books and this is the
best one that I have seen. It takes a home and explains in
the simplest terms, how it works ('wonder where they got the
name of the book?). The illustrations are absolutely top
notch. Buy this book!

By
This review is from: How a House Works (Family Handyman) (Paperback)
This is the book to buy before you read the how-to books.It presents a concise evolution of the American home, explaining the rudiments of its construction and systems from the timber frame to the postwar eras. The illustrations are excellent. Beware, you may be tempted to subscribe to The Family Handyman.
