How to Cheat at Home Repair
Who among us does not have at least one torn window screen, a room with a little peeling paint, or a refrigerator with a mysterious pool of water inside? These annoyances make your brain squirm uncomfortably. You know a repair is required, but your resolve weakens when you mentally outline the project—figuring out how to fix the problem, hunting down the tools and materials, trekking to the home store, making a mess of the repair, then returning to the home store. Suddenly ignoring that flaw in your house doesn’t seem so bad.
It doesn’t have to be that way—not when you have How to Cheat at Home Repair at your side. This book is jam-packed with the sneakiest corner-cutting fixes imaginable. You’ll learn how to make common home repairs in seconds rather than hours, often using materials you already have on hand. You’ll also learn how to select low-maintenance furnishings, appliances, and materials for your home. You’ll learn the myths and misconceptions that sap hours out of your home life. And you’ll learn how to stock your toolbox so you’re ready for any mishaps and breakdowns that homeownership throws at you.
Simply put, How to Cheat at Home Repair is:
- Your one stop for home repair information.
- The perfect guide for any homeowner or apartment dweller.
- A Joy to read—loads of attitude and good-natured humor.
- Brimming with specific instructions for easy fixes.
- Focused on simple tools and common, light materials.
