Synopsis:
The Savvy Woman's Guide to Owning a Home: How to Care For, Improve and Maintain Your Home is becoming the manual for new homeowners, particularly for women. Research into the books currently available shows that there hasn't been a comprehensive book written as a basic homeowner's manual for the non-tool-savvy owner. Using the mantra, "Nothing is obvious to the uninformed," The Savvy Woman's Guide to Owning a Home explains how a house works, what the homeowner needs to do to keep on top of potential problems and how to save money doing so. It also covers moving, insurance, seasonal check-ups, yearly maintenance, saving for big ticket jobs, responsibilities of the homeowner, joining a community, finding schools, finding the right contractor for any job, dealing with pests and importantly, preparing for emergencies, whether weather-related or local. Her advice: It's okay to feel apprehensive about this ownership thing. You can do it. It doesn't take a genius to own and maintain a house. If you (or your partner) aren't handy with a hammer and nail, or comfortable with a power drill, so what! Either learn to do it yourself, befriend someone who is comfortable with wielding the appropriate tool, or learn to find the right professional to do the work for you.
About the Author: Fearless creator Kitty Werner of RSBPress, who had enough of New York publishers saying, "Oh, what a great book, but..." or having another small press fold under her title, decided to start her own publishing company to do her books her way. Ok, she's picky... but look at the result! For more information on Kitty Werner and the Savvy Woman's Guide to Owning a Home, please visit www.kittywerner.com
