About the Book

After working for a major corporation all of her adult life, author Ruth Bouldes retired early and oversaw the design and creation of her home.

If you're considering having a home built, What Every Woman Should Know about Building a Home and Men Too if They Would Listen! is an invaluable resource. Let Bouldes' real-life experience help you avoid some of the common pitfalls associated with the construction process.
