Some people get by with a little help from their friends.
But for a source of free or inexpensive advice about housing topics and general consumer help, ask your favorite Uncle - Uncle Sam. The Consumer Information Catalog, published by the General Services Administration, lists more than two dozen housing information booklets with a price tag ranging from free to 50 cents to five dollars. These, and many other topics of general interest to consumers are available for little or no cost. Write for a free general information catalog with lists the publications available. Include your name and mailing address and request the consumer index catalog.
