Download or read book Screwdriver Or Screwed Legal Tools for the Do it Yourselfer s Tool Box written by Nancy J. White and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The do-it-yourself (DIY) industry is a $318 billion product marketplace. By comparison that's about the same size as the entire wedding industry, or the total revenues generated by e-tailing in the United States. Nearly 3 in 4 Americans participate in a DIY project each year and the average spending of a DIY remodel project is $4,000. However, there is no research that helps the DIY consumer understand potential legal risks in this marketplace. DIY continues to gain popularity because of widely broadcast television shows like Property Brothers, Rehab Addict, and Bathroom Crashers and social media sites like Pinterest. This marketplace is lucrative for both big box stores and the consumer; with consumers gaining intrinsic gratification and 'sweat equity' in their home. While the popular media and retailers focus on eye appealing outcomes and sales revenues, neither fails to address the legal obligations that affect the do-it-yourselfer. This paper is written for the complete do-it-yourselfer, which is one who does not hire any outside subcontractors to do part of the work. The purpose of this research is to provide a synopsis of the most common areas of law that apply to common household do-it-yourself projects. There is no existing research to date that suggests that the average do-it-yourselfer investigates or considers the legal implications of completing a DIY project and in fact, by definition “do-it-yourself “ is “the activity of doing or making something (as in woodworking or home repair) without professional training or assistance; broadly an activity in which one does something oneself or on one's own initiative.” Conventional wisdom suggests the average do-it-yourselfer is concerned with the project at hand and is likely unaware of the legal implications and/or risks associated with the project. This paper will seek to close this gap by addressing key areas of law that apply to DIY projects including permits & licensing, tax issues, negligence, selling a home after a project, environmental issues, and dispute resolution. We conclude by providing a DIY legal checklist to assist in mitigating and preventing these legal issues.The principles summarized here are simplified and are presented to give a basic understanding of the law. Certainly in any specific claim or legal matter a more detailed understanding of the law in the specific jurisdiction where the claim arose or whose law applies would be needed.

Download or read book One Good Turn written by Witold Rybczynski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-09-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best Tool of the Millennium The seeds of Rybczynski's elegant and illuminating new book were sown by The New York Times, whose editors asked him to write an essay identifying "the best tool of the millennium." The award-winning author of Home, A Clearing in the Distance, and Now I Sit Me Down, Rybczynski once built a house using only hand tools. His intimate knowledge of the toolbox -- both its contents and its history -- serves him beautifully on his quest. One Good Turn is a story starring Archimedes, who invented the water screw and introduced the helix, and Leonardo, who sketched a machine for carving wood screws. It is a story of mechanical discovery and genius that takes readers from ancient Greece to car design in the age of American industry. Rybczynski writes an ode to the screw, without which there would be no telescope, no microscope -- in short, no enlightenment science. One of our finest cultural and architectural historians, Rybczynski renders a graceful, original, and engaging portrait of the tool that changed the course of civilization.
