Description

Millions of women are picking up tools, learning the basics of do-it-yourself and discovering that 'the world of home building and improvement is no longer a male preserve'. The House That Jill Built takes the handywoman in all of us one giant step forward, giving a female perspective on the process of creating that dream house, from design, finance and construction management, through to the personal experiences of women who have been there, done that and share the inspiring results.

Perfect for all skill levels, from complete beginners to the more experienced, including those looking to move on to more complex or large-scale projects, The House That Jill Built is a unique guide to the construction process that includes a collection of women's experiences, before and after photos and drawings, advice from experts, safety precautions, and a comprehensive section of how-to tips, including a tool guide. Chapters highlight success stories, such as the design and construction of one woman's desert dream house to another's tropical paradise nestled up north. The House That Jill Built is proud to help build houses for women and their families: a portion of the author's royalties has been pledged to the women who contributed their projects to the book.
