Give a book or two on house maintenance. 

 

 

 

  1. I have both of Mike Holmes’ books and they are good.  At least you know they have Canadian content. 
  2. There is also the Reader’s Digest book and, if you are at a bookstore, you will see a whole section of books on home repair and maintenance.  
  3. For new home owners, the building inspector likely left them with a binder full of home maintenance information and, if there are problems with the house, some ideas of what would be involved to fix the problems. 

The home inspection binder, the schedule of regular maintenance and a well written home repair book with diagrams are good starts to first time home ownership.  Don’t forget the Internet and the Youtube videos on home repair.  Your gift book and access to the Internet will set the right course for the new homeowner.
