Logsdon's approach is to discuss the maintenance qualities of the many materials used in building a house, the grasses and plants used in landscaping, and even the furnishings. For example, wood siding may require painting often while brick doesn't; thus brick is lower-maintenance although usually more expensive. If a material requires special installation or treatment, the technique is briefly described. Comparative prices (as of 1986) are given for most materials and especially for unique and new-to-the-market items. The low-maintenance approach, division by topic (foundations, roofing, doors, floor-coverings, lawns, etc.) , 70 illustrations, and informal style will make this title appeal to those building, remodeling, or just "fixing."
