Praise for The Virgin Homeowner


“…This humorous and helpful book is the definitive guide for the first-time homeowner.”

— Mark A. Hetts, Amazon Editorial Review

“I am in my second house and I use this book monthly. I have become the Maven of Maintenance by having this book. Neighbors call me instead of my husband to ask me questions about everything from "cracked heat exchangers" to roofing problems.”

— Amazon reader 

“One of the best aspects of this book is its conversational, humorous style. I bought copies of this book for each of my three new home owning siblings. I hope it helps them come to appreciate their houses the way I have mine.”
