The first winter after my husband was gone, the furnace made a noise I had never heard before. A groan, a click, then nothing. I sat on the stairs in my coat and cried. Not because of the furnace. Because I didn't know where anything was, what anything did, or who to call.
Maybe for you it was a divorce, a move, or the day you realized the house was all yours now. However you got here, nobody taught us this, and that is not your fault.
I wrote this book so you never have to sit on the stairs.

Lynn Brennan is 57, from Boston, and has been running her house on her own since she was widowed. On her channel she shares what nobody showed her: where things are, what to check, what you can safely fix yourself, and how to hire help without being taken advantage of.
She is not a licensed plumber or electrician, and she'll never pretend to be. Gas, electrical and roof work always go to licensed professionals, and every page in the book makes that line clear.
Lynn's first rule: find it before you need it. The water shut-off, the breaker panel, the number of a plumber you trust. Everything else in the book grows from that.
No. It's a PDF you download the moment you pay. Nothing arrives in the mail. You can print any page at home, and the Fridge Card, Home Logbook and Emergency Numbers Card are made to be printed.
Gumroad shows your download straight after checkout and emails you the link with your receipt, usually within a minute.
It's written for exactly that. Most of the book is about finding and checking things, not fixing them. The ten do-it-yourself jobs each have clear steps and stop signs that tell you when to call a pro.
Yes. There's a page on making it fit your life, with what renters and condo owners should do differently. Knowing your shut-offs and how to handle a tradesman matters wherever you live.

P.S. You don't need a man for this. You need ten minutes, a pencil and a little nerve. The book does the rest.
