A co-host of the recent PBS series Hometime offers two companion volumes (see preceding entry) for experienced or beginning do-it-yourselfers, telling the cost of interior projects from repainting the living room to putting in a fireplace or installing a new kitchen; and external projects from seeding a lawn to adding rooms or installing a security system. Costs are broken down and the difficulty is rated. A table is included for adapting the material and labor costs to specific areas (by zip code). Includes glossaries, but no bibliography.
