Before you throw it out, look at it the way she did.

(Rosa's House Hacks)
A loose chair, a dripping faucet, a door that will not close, a torn screen. This book shows you how to look at a broken thing, decide whether it can be fixed, and fix it with what is already in the house.

The honest math

Replacing is the expensive habit. Here is a year of the replace-it reflex against the same year with a small kit and the knowing of how.

The replace-it reflex

  • A new chair instead of a glued joint$120
  • A call-out for a dripping tap$95
  • A new door because it drags$300
  • A shirt thrown out over a split seam$40
  • Paying someone to hang a shelf$80
A year of it$600 and up

Rosa's house

  • Glue, clamps and a screwdriver$15, used for years
  • Ten minutes at the jointa Saturday morning
  • A plane and two screws on the doornothing else
  • Needle and threada dollar
  • Knowing how it worksthis book
The same yeara few dollars

Your numbers will differ. The point does not: one call-out you do not need pays for the book.

Rosa's House Hacks

In my family nothing was thrown away while it could still be fixed. My father kept a coffee tin of screws and a clamp that was older than I am, and between them he kept a whole house running. This book is what he knew, written down and checked, with the jobs nobody at home should touch said plainly.

I am not going to tell you that every repair is easy. I will tell you which ones are, in what order to do them, and when to put the tool down and call someone.

Questions, answered plainly

I am not handy at all. Is it still for me?
Yes. Every fix starts with how to look at the problem, then lists what you need and the steps in order. Nothing assumes you have done it before. Chapter 1 teaches the five questions to ask before you touch anything, so even your first fix starts from the same careful place. If a step is unclear, stop and read the fix again from the top.
Does it tell me to buy a lot of tools?
No. The first chapters cover the small kit that handles most jobs, and the rest of the book uses it. A screwdriver, a clamp, glue, a plane and a needle cover most of the 60 fixes. Nothing in the kit is expensive, and the book says where to keep it so you can find it in a minute when something breaks. Most of the fixes use the same few items, so you buy them once.
What about jobs I should not touch?
Gas, mains wiring, structural work, sewage and large mold are called out plainly, with what to tell the professional when you call. The rule in the book is simple: if in doubt, it is a job for someone qualified, and you stop rather than push on.
Are the steps in plain English?
Yes. What to look at, what you need, the steps in order, and what can go wrong before you start. No brand names and no special tools. Every fix is written to be read once, start to finish, before you pick up a tool, and then followed step by step.
Will it open if I am not good with computers?
You press one button and the book opens, no account to make, no password. If it does not open, write to us at partners@thejonmac.com and we will walk you through it. Keep the book open on your phone while you work and tap through each step.
Do you bill me every month?
No. One payment, one time. No membership, no monthly anything. Your $39.99 is the only payment, and nothing renews. There is no club to leave.
What if I lose the file?
Your link lives in your email. If you lose it, write to us and we send a fresh one. Keep the email in a folder called Books and you will always find it. It is a plain PDF, so you can also save a copy to a drive or print it.
What if I don't like it?
Email partners@thejonmac.com within 30 days of buying and we refund you in full, and you keep the book. The 30 days start the day you buy, and the book stays yours either way.
