Book Description
A home is a place of refuge, a castle, a sanctuary. A house, however, is an enormously complex and immensely expensive mechanism that seems always in need of attention. In fact, a house is the single largest expense most adults will ever undertake, reason enough to take care of it. And as Master Carpenter Norm Abram and Contractor Tom Silva of the celebrated television series, This Old House Essential Home Repair, learned in their decades of working on old houses, it's a lot easier to avoid a problem than it is to fix it after the damage is done.
Ignored, a house will succumb to the ravages of time and weather. Maintained, it can last nearly forever. But where to start and what to do? Let Norm and Tom be your guides. In the following chapters, drawn from the pages of This Old House Magazine, they'll show you where to look for problems and explain what to do about them. Many problems can be avoided by routine maintenance - touching up the paint on siding, repairing torn shingles, securing wobbly porch posts. Others, such as replacing termite-damaged wood and repointing chimneys, can be major undertakings. In any case, you II have a chance in these pages to peek over the shoulder of craftsman and see exactly how they tackle splitting gutters, leaking basements and dead switches. Want to know the most common source of problems in a house? "On every house we've looked at in the years we've been doing this," says Norm, "most of the damage has been from water." Surprised?
