A must-have for any homeowner to know how to care for their home.

[Ray Ferreira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book. Great information. However, it's very repetitive.

[Jodell Larimer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Concise relevant information for everyone.

[Aaron · Rating 2 out of 5]

He advocates building houses that will last centuries - overkill for most homeowners. Lots of helpful advice but he gets far too specific and personal regarding exact brands and stores he's recommending - not realizing these items aren't as available outside of his home market.

Essential reading for any fans of his TV show. Sorry to have to return it to the library.
