Editorial Review
The time is right for an authoritative how-to guide written by and for women. Statistics show that 85% of women are or expect to be solely responsible for a home at some point in their lives. And single women now comprise the second largest group of home buyers, just after married couples. Author JoAnne Liebeler approaches home improvement from a womans perspective, with a blend of expertise and wit that women will appreciate. This book was created specifically for the woman of the house, with detailed explanations of how a house works, how it was built, and how its systems function. JoAnne elaborates on what tools work best for a woman and why, how to succeed at do-it-yourself projects, and when to call in outside help. Everything is covered: Walls, floors, plumbing, electrical, exterior maintenance, and common repairs. And with special sections on pest control and home safety/security issues, this is a must-have reference.

great book for the first-time woman homebuyer

2008-01-01
This is a great book for the new female home owner who doesn't want to spend all her time and money at the big-box how-to stores or be at the mercy of professional tradespeople. Written with the special needs of women in mind, especially in regard to safety and environmental concerns, this is a light-hearted, yet serious book that will come to the rescue when you need quick, good answers. Joanne knows what she is talking about and helps you feel good about taking the best care of your biggest investment. Buy it for yourself or give to a friend. Fine Book.

Who needs a man??!!!

I love this book! My husband is in Iraq, leaving me to handle the kids and home maintenance. This book is a great resource and designed for women in mind, leaving out all the "contractor talk." It's also very funny and entertaining.

I purchased this book as a Mother's Day present for my mom. She really has enjoyed it. Not only does Ms. Liebeler give simple and easy to follow instructions for doing many at home projects, she writes as if she's talking to one of her good friends. A very easy to read and understand book! I probably will buy a copy for myself as well.
