House That Jill Built A Woman's Guide To Home Building

If you could, if you knew how, what would a house that you build for yourself look like? How would it feel? Millions of women already have a hands-on attitude toward the places they call home. They are buying their own tools, and learning the basics of do-it-herself. And every day, out of curiosity, or just plain necessity, women are learning that home improvement is not just for guys. Now, The House That Jill Built takes the handywoman in all of us one giant step forward. This groundbreaking guide shares the process of creating a personal dream house, through the eyes and experiences of women who have been there, and done that-making a design, acting as contractor, doing their own construction. It shows the way for any woman who longs to unlock the mysteries of home making-of the lumber and sheetrock variety-and provides solid advice to help her tackle big projects on her own. So, please pass the hammer, Jack. It's Jill's turn. The House That Jill Built will help build houses for women and their families.
