Book Reviews of How a House Works (Family Handyman)
Book Review: Useful for anyone living with a roof over their heads
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall this is a great book for anyone that owns, rents or is thinking of buying a house. It has excellent illustrations with easy to read and understand explanations. It filled in many gaps in my knowledge about my home.
I was a little surprised that in section/chapter 4: Heating and Cooling that he never even mentioned evaporative coolers/Swamp Coolers. Granted, one has to live in a fairly dry climate to get the best use out of them, but surprise........ lots of people do.
I'm guessing he grew up on the east or west coast and never had much exposure to them, but they at least warrant mention.
Otherwise an excellent, well written book for those of us that are curious about "How it Works"
