For any new homeowner, but particularly women, even basic repairs and maintenance can be daunting. My Home Workbook takes the mystery out of new homeownership and empowers women to fix it themselves. From assembling the essential toolkit to fixing plumbing to changing the direction of door swings, My Home Workbook will give you the confidence to take on just about any new home repair project. It also covers when to call a professional, and teaches you the lingo so you can talk the talk! With its easy to follow instructions, tongue-in-cheek humor and retro illustrations, you’ll learn all about cracks that don’t come in ill-fitting jeans and screwdrivers that aren’t poured over ice! My Home Workbook contains detailed recordkeeping sections to help you track measurements, floor plans, the location of water mains, electric sockets, etc., as well as a zip pouch, perfect for keeping swatches, paint chips and receipts. Room d�cor ideas and instructions for how to make curtains and cushions will help you round out your new home and have exactly as you want it in no time. My Home Workbook is an ideal gift for a housewarming, bridal shower or any gift-giving holiday.
