This book is for anyone who wants to paint the interior or exterior of their house and get professional results. Since 80% of the cost of a paint job is labor, readers can save by doing it themselves. Over 200 photos show you how to check paint conditions and when to remove old paint, should you brush or roll, what equipment to rent or buy, what are the latest tools and techniques. All of this and more is discussed by the authors.

Subtitle: Discovering the Places We Once Called Home. Like people, houses are created, live, and grow old. Like us, they eventually disappear. In Where We Lived, these houses are our guides as we journey through the vanished landscape of our country when it was very young. Mile markers on this journey are the remarkable photographs of the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), created to document the nation's early structures. The narrative of our journey draws heavily on travelers' accounts, public records, community and family histories, letters and diaries, even novels and stories. It also takes note of the Direct Tax of 1798, which counted and measured houses from Maine to Georgia. From New England to the Middle States, from the South to the territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River called the West, you're treated to the earliest surviving homes of the New World to the "new" houses of the Greek Revival.
