4.0 out of 5 stars Practical, indispensable--keep all your notes in one place, February 17, 1999

By	"louisar" (Richmond, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The perfect housewarming gift! Has a place for all the notes you ought to keep about what you bought (like appliances), what color paint you used, what repairs you've done, etc., etc. All the stuff that normally gets lost can go in this one journal, and what a blessing when you need to find those notes! Flexible enough to work for any size/type of home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Build your own owner's manual, June 18, 2000

By	M. Plyler "Mary Mac" (Washington state) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my third copy of _The Home Owner's Journal_. In each case, for each house, I filled the book with information that would help me know what I did: what paint color I chose, how much paint I bought & how much I used, who wallpapered the dining room with how much paper. When I sold each house, I left the book on the kitchen counter for the new owners' use. I have given the book as a housewarming gift. The best part about it is the book is unpretentious. Because of its casual format and comical illustrations, it's easy to mark up, daub with paint and paste sample rug and wallpaper swatches inside, and the messier it becomes, the more useful and valuable it grows. I recommend it to any new homeowner!

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful information right at your finger tips!, March 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Home Owner's Journal : What I Did When I Did It (fourth edition) (Spiral-bound)

Maintaining a home can be a daunting task, but this book will make it easier by providing you with just the tool to keep important information right at your fingertips. And the spiral bound book is easy to use because the book stays open to the page you are on! Each page will guide the homeowner to record things such as window measurements, floor coverings, and wall coverings for each room in the house. And it doesn't stop there. It also takes you outside to record important landscaping projects that you may have completed too! So, let's say you were moving furniture in your bedroom and dinged one wall? You don't want to paint the entire room, but can't remember what color or type of paint you used. Just turn to page 28 of your Journal where you will find not only what kind of paint you used, but a paint sample as well. This will certainly take the guess work right out of those small touch up jobs! This book is a perfect gift for new homeowners. And for those existing homeowners like myself who would just like to get more organized!
