The prospect of home ownership can be an exciting time in your life, but what if your dream home ends up being nothing but headaches because you didn’t know what to look for when searching for your new home? With my experience as a Certified Home Inspector, it has become my mission to share my knowledge with new home buyers on how to prevent buying a “money pit.” It will also help current homeowners as well who need to know what dangers might be lurking in their home, and how to make and keep their homes safe. This book will give you the knowledge you need when looking for a new home and the confidence to know you made the right choice.

More Info
Decorating with Architectural Trimwork fills a void in the existing literature on trimwork. There are plenty of books that tell the reader how to install trim around windows and doors, but few that also explain how architectural trim can enhance a room's aesthetic appeal. Responding to the recent trend of building houses as empty boxes, author Jay Silber shows readers how to choose and use a wide variety of moldings, trim, and design concepts to transform a sterile, open floor plan into a warm, inviting, richly textured home. Trimwork shows readers how to decorate their homes with trim and wall panels so that their walls, passageways, and stairways can radiate the warmth, character, and beauty of the well-trimmed homes of eras gone by.
