Rating:
Summary: A must read for a first time remodeler, or homeowner
Review: I spent months digging up a portion of the information contained in this book. If you're planning on remodeling, adding on, buying your first house, or if your house is uncomfortable in any way, or your utility bills are too high, then you need to read this book.

Summary: Don't do a thing to your house until you read this.
Review: Understanding the ways changing and "improving" our homes affects the comfort and performance of the whole house is a science that has advanced tremendously in the last ten years. This is the first book for the homeowner/do-it-your-selfer that makes all that building science accessible and practical. You'll save the price of the book the first month in reduced energy bills, and thank yourself every month for the added comfort and the peace of mind. You will also want to keep it for reference and to loan to your friends and relatives.
