INTRODUCTION
F or experienced or maybe just intrepid do-it-yourselfers there eventually - photo 5

F or experienced (or maybe just intrepid) do-it-yourselfers, there eventually comes another step beyond the many basic repair and maintenance projects that are so crucial to home ownership. Just keeping a homes systems and structure in good working order is, of course, the goal of any responsible homeowner, but sooner or later most are ready to go to the next level by tackling projects that aim at improving, not just maintaining, their homes. These are projects that qualify as true home remodelingDIY projects designed to extend the homes usefulness and increase its real-estate value.

Thats where The Book of Home Improvement comes in. Earlier BLACK+DECKER major references, The Book of Home How-To and The Complete Outdoor Builder, were devoted to the basic skills and essential projects for keeping your home in good working order, both inside and out. The Book of Home Improvement builds on that foundation by offering a great selection of legitimate remodeling projects that can actually add financial value to the home while improving your familys enjoyment of it. Most homeowners will find great satisfaction by owning all three of these major home-improvement encyclopedias, as they are designed to work together.

This book offers well over one hundred fully illustrated remodeling projects, carefully selected for their popularity among homeowners and their value as equity-building improvements. These are the projects recommended by real-estate professionals for improving the value of your home. While some basic skills on your part are assumedlikely because you own other BLACK+DECKER books presenting the core DIY know-howall the information you need to complete these projects is found right here: lists of tools and materials, building plans, and the unsurpassed step-by-step photography youve come to know from BLACK+DECKER books. With projects ranging from fairly simple replacement of trim moldings to elaborate extension of living space with added room additions, The Book of Home Improvement will quickly become an essential addition to your home DIY library.

PLANNING A REMODELING PROJECT
T he origins of the old idioms Measure twice cut once and An ounce of - photo 6

T he origins of the old idioms Measure twice, cut once and An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure are not definitively known, but we suspect they were coined by someone with rueful experience in home remodeling. Likewise for Where fools rush in, angels fear to tread. Adequate planning and preparation are crucial to getting good results with home-improvement projects, while hastiness can be the start of disaster.

Planning a major remodeling project is a complex subject that cant be addressed in a single chapter of any book, but the segments of this chapter outline some key ideas for good preparation for any project. Keep the following in mind as you prepare for your project:

Understand how your planned work fits in with the overall structure and function of your homewhether it is a carpentry project that integrates with the framework of your home or a heating, cooling, wiring, or plumbing project that will blend into an existing mechanical system.

Review the codes and acceptable building practices authorized by your community. These exist for your safety, and following them can prevent accidents and expensive do-overs.

Have a clear visual sense of the work you intend to do. A key step here is to have good, detailed plan drawings and practical schedules to organize the steps of your work.

Use tools and materials safely; review their proper usage, and make sure your skills are honed before tackling a big project. Dont get in over your head.
