| The definitive guide on maintaining a home, this unique manual for
homeowners is also a great client relations tool for builders and real estate
salespeople. Easy to use and richly illustrated, the manual is a complete
education on how to protect what is typically the largest investment most
people make. Designed primarily for owners of new homes, subjects covered
include: understanding how houses are made; what to expect in the first year of
occupancy; and how to repair a myriad of problems such as squeaky floors and
drywall cracks. The manual uses plain language for non-professionals to address
all aspects of a new home, even systems for heating, electricity, ventilation
and air conditioning, plumbing and hot water. Also included: tips on operating
your home in a healthy, efficient and environmentally friendly manner and a
handy maintenance calendar for seasonal checks. Endorsed by the Canadian Home
Builder's Association (CHBA) and the Canadian New Home Warranty Council of the
