Home Improvements: 52 Easy Weekend Projects 1989 (1st)






You will increase your home's liveability by making fundamental improvements to it. A new bathroom, an attic study, a recreation room, a bay window, bookshelves, a new sink, a ceiling fan, a workshop -- all will add to the day-to-day enjoyment of your home.

Home Improvements: 52 Easy Weekend Projects is specifically written to show you how to make such home improvements with smaller, easy-to-complete projects that can be tackled over a weekend. In fact, some projects can be completed in just a few hours. Others will require an evening or two during the week for preparation in order to complete them over a weekend. The book is developed in four sections, one for each season of the year. Each section offers 13 weekend projects that are most appropriate to that season. Of course, you can do most of them at any time of the week or the year.  Each project article is written so that it can easily be read in an evening during the week. You can then make a simple list of the items or materials you will need so that you can work efficiently when you begin your project. Most projects are illustrated to help you work efficiently when you begin your project. Whether you take on a few, a dozen, or all 52 projects, you'll find this book both informative and entertaining.
