Hi, thank you for your comments. I think I did address at least part of your question with this:

But, with planning and rethinking, Banta says, we can avert some of these problems. We can, for example, take steps now to reduce problems with trapped moisture; we can properly insulate; we can insulate plumbing to prevent freezing and broken pipes; we can make sure we don't have large trees growing near the foundations of our homes, sucking moisture from the soil and allowing the foundations to weaken.


But no, I haven't tried any of these ideas since I just got the book this week.

give specific suggestions for thing homeowners can do? Or does he just say what should be done when building new homes? Have you followed any of his suggestions? If so, it would be useful to hear you talk about that in your review. If not, why not?

cheers,

Kate
