Home Improvement as a Second Language
Part 1: Hardware and Fasteners

Do you struggle to figure out what products you need when shopping your local big box home improvement store? Does the employee who is trying to help you struggle just as much to understand what you need? Maybe the problem is that you are not speaking the same language! Not literally, but think how much more enjoyable completing your home improvement/repair would be if you went into it more knowledgable of the product choices you have and how they work. Even if you hire someone to do the actual work around your home, how much of an advantage would it be to be able to talk the talk, and understand more what goes into a home improvement project? Better yet, as you learn the language and jargon that goes with house renovations and repairs, you will feel more confident doing more of them yourself. This book can help you start being less clueless in the hardware and fastener aisles right now!

Included are literally the “nuts and bolts” of the selection of nuts, bolts, screws, nails and other fastener hardware in your typical local big box home improvement store. Descriptions of the products and their uses, along with over 30 original close-up photographs are punctuated with practical tips and interesting insights into everyday items that surround you. Read this book front to back, you will be much more fluent in the language of hardware and fasteners!
