You've Probably Thought About Some of these Projects
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Does any homeowner not have at least a short list of things they would like to change in their house? This book is a description of 50 do it yourself projects that just might include what you're thinking of. In my case it is windows. My house has windows that are single pane (and very heat inefficient), painted so many times that there's no way they'll ever open, and non-standard size. Page 132. - Making a Custom Window. Garage a God-Awful mess. Try Gardener's Garage. Page 256. And that's just two of the 50 projects that are discussed, illustrated and described well enough that you just might be tempted uo schedule a trip to Home Depot tomorrow morning. A particularily nice thing about this book is that the book was done by the hosts of DIY to the Rescue. The co-hosts of the show are Karl and Amy. Note Amy, a girl's name. In this day and age there are a lot single women living alone. Here is a bit of home repair, One of the co-hosts on the series is female. Seeing her in these pictures and on the show, there is no reason that snothre coman the same skills can't do a lot of similar projects.
