Practical Tips for Tropical Living
The Hawai‘i Home Book is the first-ever comprehensive guide to maintaining a home in Hawaii. Produced in partnership with local home industry mainstay
Hawaii Home + Remodeling magazine, this book covers the nuts and bolts of keeping a home in the Islands, from lighting to landscaping, roofing to pest control. Includes advice from experts, illustrative photographs and useful back-of-the-book checklists, maintenance schedules and resource listings.
The Hawai‘i Home Book is equally suited for owners of new homes or for those fixing up an older house or simply looking to maintain their investment. A home is a family’s single largest purchase, and one of the few that doesn’t come with an owner’s manual. The Hawai‘i Home Book fills that void.
Hawai‘i’s special environment leads to unique problems: salt water corrosion, mold growth, and pests such as ants, roaches and termites. The Hawai‘i Home Book offers time-proven solutions for preventing and treating these and many other troublesome issues. In addition, author Karen Anderson guides the homeowner through the often overwhelming process of choosing the right flooring, roofing and cooling, among other home improvements, for his or her particular residence.
The Hawai‘i Home Book has been awarded the 2007 Hawai‘i Book Publishers Association Ka Palapala Pookela Award for "Best Special Interest Book."
