Most homes fail slowly, in ways that were visible long before they were expensive. This handbook teaches you to read those signs: how a house ages, what the water is doing, which sounds and stains and smells matter, and when a small job on Saturday prevents a large one in February.
It is organised as a system rather than a list of projects. Every task carries a plain risk level, from things you can safely observe to things that belong to a licensed professional every time — and the book is as clear about the second as the first. Where the right answer depends on your climate, your building, or your local code, it says so instead of pretending otherwise.
Written for the home you have, the time you have, and no ambition to become a contractor.
