Old houses are charming, but owning one can be a labor of love. Expert carpenter and house "doctor" Christopher Evers equates old homes with ailing patients, describing how you can successfully "treat" your old house and make it good as new. With over 300 clear, line illustrations, Evers provides a practical guide to repairing, renovating, and preserving your old house--basement to attic--so you can enjoy it for years to come. Evers gives detailed instructions on the "anatomy" of old homes as well as how to fix a variety of problems, including:

Repairing old plumbing fixtures
Replacing shingles on the roof
Straightening the house’s frame
Rewiring old electrical systems
Removing old wallpaper
Protecting against termites and other harmful pests
Adding insulation for better energy efficiency
Fixing old eaves
Reinstalling windows and doors
And more!

A classic in old-home repair, The Old-House Doctor is an invaluable, and timeless, guide for keeping your old home in tip-top shape, while meeting your modern needs.
