5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice from This Old House, October 16, 2000

This review is from: This Old House Homeowners Manual: Advice on Maintaining Your Home from Tom Silva, Richard Trethewey, and Steve Thomas (Paperback)

This book is just what you would expect from the guys at This Old House. It includes tips and how-to advice on a wide range of common household problems. The emphasis is not only on repair, but on maintenance and prevention of problems. This book serves as advisory tool for those of us who can't afford to call a professional for every small household problem.

We bought this book at the same time we were purchasing a older home (built in the 1800s). We love the drawings and detailed explanations of not only "how" but "why" that are included. Terrific guide for the first-time older-home buyer.
