Barbara K How-To Coach

By Adrienne Rayski, Special to AOL Coaches

Barbara K, widely recognized as today's home repairs expert for women, offers a new and distinctive approach to home improvement, quick fixes, and do-it-yourself projects in her latest book 'Invest in Your Nest.' Her personal insight into creating the home you've always dreamed of -- even if you don't make six figures -- is witty, to the point, and, more importantly -- practical.

Unlike many home improvement books on the market today, 'Invest in Your Nest' does not assume its readers enjoy doing home improvement projects or that they have all the time in the world for such tasks. This book is for anyone who wants to know how to deal with their habitually overflowing toilet instead of spending $300 on a plumber, or for anyone who ever wondered how difficult it would be to paint their own house…or for anyone who has a home! Barbara doesn't just explain how to take on home mishaps; she fills you in on how to avoid them completely. The long term investment suggestions might even be worth your while -- such as purchasing new CPVC pipes for that toilet, which could keep you at a pleasant distance from your plunger.

'Invest in Your Nest' is an encouraging, step-by-step guide; clear and simple enough for the most novice reader. Barbara's personal stories of struggles and successes in her own home improvement endeavors help to clarify the advice and offer a sense of warmth and compassion between author and reader.

Whether you're looking for advice on how to buy or sell a home, deal with the troubles of an old house, or something as basic as fixing a leaky faucet, this book is a fool-proof guide for everything home improvement.
