Welcome to the website
that helps you get a better, user-friendly house where
function and common sense are a part of the design and
construction. Along with Myron Ferguson's book Build
It Right!, it takes you a long way toward a home
that---
• reflects your choices
(not someone else's),
• is more comfortable,
• needs less work,
• has fewer irritations,
and
• is more valuable.
It's
not that you can't live with unfriendly flaws--- IT'S
THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO!

The

About This Site.
UserFriendlyHome.com and Home User Press exist to help people
get better homes. We've tried to make the site itself an example
of user-friendliness. Ease of navigation is stressed along
with photos and graphics to show the breadth of user-unfriendliness
in homes---and what to do about it. If nothing else, you'll
find it interesting because we all relate to the ways our
own homes could be better.
THE PROBLEM IS
NOT NEW
It
was 400 years ago that Sir Francis Bacon, noting how homes
were being built, observed, "Houses are to live in,
not to look at. Therefore, let use be preferred before
uniformity, except where both may be had."
...Nothing has changed.
Navigation note: At the bottoms of
the pages you'll find "<<<Previous•"
and "•Next>>>" that will take you
page-by-page through the site. They follow the same order
as the navigation button bars.
