Great How to Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
600 pages and covers just about any home repair or improvement from hanging a door to retiling a kitchen. The drawings are comprehensive and well executed. There's a fine index and the instructions are step by step.A feature that I really like is the "You'll need" which gives the Skill level, time and tools needed to complete each task.This is the best of the home repair books I reviewed before purchasing.
Excellent reference for the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer.

This book is one of the most complete and accurate references I have seen. There are a few minor omissions, as well as some editorial errors, but I found this book to be enjoyable reading and an invaluable resource for the inexperienced homeowner. The scope of the book is broad so it is a bit general in some areas, but it will still replace many other books in most libraries. I highly recommend it to anyone who feels intimidated by the thought of buying a less-than-perfect home.
How can you expect more from a book on this subject?

This is seriously a well done guide. The illustrations and descriptions are very well thought out. I'm buying a second copy for my sister now that I don't live close enough to help her with her house renovation anymore.
One of the top five all-in-one do-it-yourself books.

I believe that this book should be in everyone's home reference library. I'm a professional home inspector and you can't beat the price of the book for the value it gives. This is one of those books that can save you hundreds of dollars or more.
Comprehensive learning tool

I now have the confidence that I can deal with most any home repair emergency. This book teaches you the principles behind your home's systems so that you can understand HOW and WHY it works, not just how to fix it. The clear illustrations and concise writing make it easy to follow. My only wish is that it were spiral bound with plastic pages; my copy has become well-worn in a very short amount of time.
