The Money Pit, hosted by Tom Kraeutler and Leslie Segrete, is a syndicated call-in radio program that airs every day in almost every North American market on 195 stations as well as on Sirius and XM Satellite Radio and the Discovery Radio Network. Home improvement is the nation’s fastest-growing industry, and Tom and Leslie are at the cutting edge of reaching home owners who need real information on how to get things done. Their straightforward and friendly style gives clear advice on home renovations and building, and now their first comprehensive book will become the instant standard for home owners everywhere. This full-color reference guide is illustrated throughout and contains sections filled with sidebars and illustrations about every aspect of your home: flooring, painting, decorating, heat and air systems, kitchen renovation, bathrooms, media rooms, garages, basements, patios, gutters, and much, much more. One chapter will be dedicated to interviewing and hiring workers for each job, another will review the best cleaning methods for each project, and each chapter will assess which projects are worth the effort. The multiple appendices include safety must-haves, a twelve-month home maintenance calendar, the basic toolbox list, a color wheel, and lots more.
