In What's a Homeowner to Do?, Stephen Fanuka and Edward Lewine explain the basics of home repair and maintenance. From assembling a basic tool kit to understanding the pros and cons of casement and double-hung windows, from moldings and stair treads to appliances and leaks, you'll learn how to keep your home in fine working order. Topics include how to figure out which plumbing issues you can take care of yourself; how to install a ceiling fan; determining the right amount of paint to buy; how to fix that clanging radiator-and hundreds more. The authors advise when a repair is best executed by an expert, and they're sensitive to the different skill levels of homeowners-so whether you're an experienced DIYer or someone stymied by replacing a lightbulb, this is the only home maintenance book you'll need.
