The Ultimate Guide to Organize and Inspire You So You Can--Really!--Sit Back and Enjoy Your Second Home The Second Home Book is the first of its kind - a conversational, comprehensive and convenient guide to setting up, operating and, most of all, enjoying a second home. It is cheerful and useful--funny, fact-filled, anecdotal - appealing to both those already ensconced in or encumbered with a 2nd residence as well as those imagining a future, fantastic home. In The Second Home Book, you'll learn: --how to furnish your second home on a shoestring (without relying on castoffs from your primary residence) --how to run your second home efficiently from afar --how to assemble a dream team of helpers (from handymen to cleaning help) and keep them motivated --how to entertain (even other people's children) without exhausting yourself --why you should avoid renovating your second home's kitchen --how to handle bills, routine maintenance, and emergencies --how to turn any house into your dream house The Second Home Book is not about how to finance a second home--it's about absolutely everything else you need to know in one cheerful, easy-to-navigate volume.
