The new bible of home improvement from America's go-to expert and DIY Network television star

On his popular television show on the DIY network, master contractor Ed Del Grande rolls up his sleeves with millions of viewers to teach them how to tackle home improvement projects with skill, confidence, and, most important, a good sense of humor. Now, he brings his expertise to the page in Ed Del Grande's House Call. Ed starts with the basics for all projects, big or small, and explains his essential rule: a house is a living machine. It can "tell" you when something is wrong, but only if you know how to listen. Then Ed arms you with the skills and knowledge you need to hear what your house has to say so you can make the "house call" yourself.

From simple repairs like fixing a kitchen clog or installing a door to more ambitious projects like installing new faucets, custom showers, and even a wet bar, Ed Del Grande's House Call will transform any house into a well-oiled dream home. With Ed's step-by-step instructions and illustrations throughout, inside tricks from his years of experience, and essential advice for hiring contractors for bigger renovations, Ed Del Grande's House Call should be on the bookshelf of every homeowner.
