About this title

Synopsis

Since 1996, Kaile Warren's phenomenally successful handyman business, Rent-A-Husband, has dispatched a fleet of reliable, efficient, and sensitive “surrogate spouses” to take care of all those pressing but largely neglected problems in the home—from leaky plumbing to leaky roofs, buckled floors to peeling walls, faulty sockets to sparking plugs.

And now, for every woman who thinks she has a screw loose or her wires crossed (and even some men), The Official Rent-A-Husband Guide to a Safe, Problem-Free Home provides a painless and entertaining approach to quick and easy “fixes” for everything in need of repair or improvement in your home. In chapters laced with amusing anecdotes from real-life Rent-A-Husband experiences, Kaile Warren and coauthor Jane Craig give readers the know-how and confidence to:
* Choose the right tool for every project and start a toolbox of their own.
* Make everyday repairs to plumbing, electricity, walls and floors.
* Create and build storage space.
* Defuse potential household dangers.
* Simplify domestic chores.
* Distinguish between jobs they can handle and those best left to the pros.
* Hire a reputable contractor and check up on the job he is doing.

Kaile Warren's pragmatic solutions will not only fix problems with the greatest of ease, but will save readers thousands of dollars as well. His book is divided into three parts: problem-solving, space maximizing, and home safety. With this book you can learn to maintain your most important asset—your home.
