Husets ABC : en handbok för husägare

Owning a house involves a lot of decisions, big and small. Whether you are renovating yourself or hiring help, The ABCs of Homeownership is a good foundation and a real bible in the field. Emphasis has been placed on things that the normally handy person could conceivably manage on their own. The practical work is described with clear illustrations and step-by-step instructions.
Husets ABC takes the reader from basement floor to roof ridge, from room to room. Materials, design, function, care, maintenance and repairs are described in detail. It also explains in simple terms how plumbing and electrical installations work. The exterior of the house, facades, windows and doors and how to build a terrace, bay window or dormer are also included, as well as how to protect the house against burglary, fire and pests.
Since its publication in 2003, the book has been continually updated to reflect the latest findings and regulations, and now there is another thoroughly revised edition. New features include the rules and conditions for second homes and other building regulations.
