A Guide To Home Repair, Maintenance And Real Men
When Allegra Bennett began 'Renovating Woman', her weekly home repair show, she was surprised by the hundreds of letters she received from listeners. She knew that women are buying homes in record numbers and that for every house bought there is probably a squeaky floorboard or a blown fuse but she was surprised so many of the women were still paying a small fortune to repairmen to take care of their most basic household problems.
In her book, Bennett, who also now does a 'Renovating Woman' newspaper column, provides easy to understand instructions in a conversational style wrapped in humor on the most common household repair and maintenance dilemmas. Beginning with what you need for your tool box and, incidentally what a tool is, to how all plumbing and electrical systems work, to the best way to deal with slick contractors, this book provides women with the information they need to take charge of their own home maintenance and repair.
