"Quirk Owner's Manuals have taught readers how to ""repair"" and ""maintain"" babies, toddlers, dogs, and cats. Now we're tackling the biggest and most complicated ""appliance"" of all-your home!

Through step-by-step instructions and techy schematic diagrams, The Home Owner's Manual explores hundreds of frequently asked questions- How can I drain the sludge out of my water heater? What makes my radiators ""hiss"" at night? Is there any easy way to unstop a toilet? How can I fill a crack in my wall? And when should I seek professional help?

You'll also find advice on inspecting a new home, moving in, redecorating, emergency maintenance, and much more. With plenty of helpful illustrations to guide you along, The Home Owner's Manual makes household maintenance a breeze."
