Perfect for pictures submitted by seadocks on June 21, 2014, 5:51pm this book is great for people that have a hard time visualizing what most repair books mean when they talk about parts of your house. I actually understood what they meant about each area of the house and how I could fix it or improve it. This is great for those of us that might not know the name of each part of our house or exactly what the trade names are for different tools and resources. I almost wanted to buy this one, but I will just check it out each time I need to use it.

Graphs Galore submitted by thesrays on August 28, 2020, 6:28am This book dedicates a lot of space to graphs (frost dates, heating degree days, cooling degree days, precipitation, etc.), including a bewildering assortment of seemingly random bits of data. As a reference resource, this is valuable, but don't check it out as your starting point in an energy audit for your home.
