New construction, retrofit and remodeling, all in one book. Carbonless took three of its books and put them into one entry-level guide, about 137 pages, with 20 real-job photos from houses across North America.
Your house is the one place you retreat to. Every buyer wants to be safe in it: safe from mold, water, rot and a utility bill they can't pay. This book shows you how houses get sick, how a new house should be built right the first time, and how to think through fixing the house you already have.
Inside:
How houses get sick: where mold, mildew and rot hide, from the crawl space to the attic
20 real-job photos and what went wrong in each one
The 11 control layers every house has to think about
New construction: how to get a house built right the first time
Retrofit, remodel, fix and repair: the house you already have
Two checklists, one for new construction and one for an existing house
My own house: humidity held at 45%, and what I did to get there
For homeowners, home buyers, builders, remodelers, the trades, and everyone who touches a house.
This is a guide, not a set of plans. It won't give you every answer. It will help you know what to look for, what to ask, and when to get help.
