A Letter From The Editor

Homes aren't meant to exist forever without flaw or intervention. They require maintenance, simple household repairs, improvements, and a little foresight. With that in mind, it's surprising how many little things about our houses we don't know.

This issue includes how-tos on some simple household repair tasks. Some are more commonly needed than others, but all address topics that someone somewhere has had to deal with.

Warmly,
