Must read is you are doing any renovation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My husband and I just got the first estimate from a contrator for a complete renovation of our kitchen. After the shock wore off, I decided my husband has to read this book. (I've read it before.) I was saddened that it is out of print. This is one of the best books I've read about dealing with home renovation ever. It will give you way more practical information about how not to lose your mind during a renovation than almost any home repair book I've read. I hope it goes back into print.
Read this before buying that cute "Fixer-Upper"

If you are shopping for a house, or considering a renovation this book is the perfect Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware). Picture your dream house knee deep in McDonald's wrapper as your contractor explains why they are 6 months behind schedule. This Damn House will be able to provide laughter through your tears of frustration in dealing with the demons of home repair. The perfect housewarming gift. Anyone that has owned a house can tell you Kaufman speaks the truth, but makes it a whole lot less painfu
