Description:
Not that you are particularly lazy, but when it comes right down to it, maintaining a home is potentially a lot of work for anyone, and you may feel you have better things to do. In today's speeded-up world, having to use up one's free time working on the seriously necessary tasks of keeping your home up and running is a problem for many people. What if there were a book that showed you how to make the most efficient use of your time and efforts to spend the fewest hours possible keeping the house in good working order? You'd want to get your hands on this book, right? Well, you can! Meany's well-thought-out look at the ins and outs of just about every aspect of home upkeep covers storage, cleaning, inside and outside maintenance and repairs, basic plumbing fixes, window cleaning and repairs, deck maintenance, keeping your heating and air conditioning systems flowing smoothly, the tools and materials needed for each task, and even some thoughts on how to schedule and organize your work and time for greatest efficiency. In addition to all the basics covered, there are loads of additional tips and shortcuts, warnings about time-wasters that will spare future time and headaches, optional tips for things you can do when you have a little extra time, and some suggested "rewards" for jobs well done! Meany's lighthearted and witty writing makes this an entertaining as well as useful guide for today's over-scheduled homeowner. --Mark A. Hetts
