These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 62 topics.
It's a Saturday in October. You're crouched by the brick wall with a torch, looking at a row of weep holes and a subfloor vent, and you're not sure what you're meant to do with them.
The guide you downloaded covers it somewhere past page thirty, in two paragraphs about ember-resistant mesh and apertures. On a screen, it doesn't show you which hole, which mesh or how fine.
In the book, that same wall is one page. The weep holes, the subfloor vent and the wall vent are drawn and numbered, with the metal mesh beside them and a box: holes no bigger than 2 mm, to check against your state fire service's advice.
Gutters, roof valleys, the gap under the door, what's under the deck and your garden zones each have their own page too, in the same walk order: roof to ground, house to boundary.
You look at the drawing, go back outside and work along the wall hole by hole, without opening the guide again.
How a house catches fire, roof and gutters, walls, vents and doors, the deck and sheds, the garden in zones, water and pump, your written plan, and the calendar with common mistakes: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
A hot, windy Saturday is forecast and you've got Friday evening to check the house. You need to know where embers would get in, and in what order to look.
You open the page on the ignition zone along the walls and see the doormat, the cushions, the bins and the firewood drawn against the house, each one numbered as something an ember can catch first.
Same with gutters, vents and weep holes, your block in zones, how much water you need and the yearly calendar: each one on its own page.
Bushfire-Ready Home Illustrated is 8 parts and 62 topics, all drawn, with a written survival plan to fill in and a page for your local rules.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Understand how a house actually catches fire, so you know what to check first: the three ways fire reaches a house, how embers find the gaps, the walk order, your BAL rating, fire danger ratings and warnings, and why leaving early is the safest choice.
Gutters and gutter guards, roof valleys, tile and metal roofs, eaves and fascias, and checking the roof space from the inside.
Vents and weep holes, gaps around pipes and air-con, windows, the gap under the door, sliding and garage doors, wall cladding and evaporative coolers.
The ignition zone along the walls, under and on the deck, subfloor spaces, fences joined to the house, woodpiles, gas bottles and sheds.
Your block in zones, fine fuel, grass height, tree canopies and shrub spacing, mulch and paths, plant choice, clearing rules and green waste.
How much water you need, tank fittings, a pump that doesn't rely on mains power, hoses, sprinklers, spot fires and the monthly check.
Get the plan out of your head and onto paper, so everyone in the house knows it: trigger points, where you go and how, who does what, the go-bag, protective clothing, pets and closing up before you leave.
The yearly calendar, the monthly walk-round, the day-before checklist, practising with the family, insurance, common mistakes and your local rules page.
At the end of the book: A written bushfire survival plan to fill in, a yearly calendar and a page for your local rules.
Train your eye before you walk your own block: 30 drawn houses and gardens where you find the weak points, with the answers on the next page.
The essentials on printable one-page cards for the fridge: your trigger points, the go-bag list, the warning levels and the monthly checks.
