5-0 out of 5 stars Great book that covers many topics
This book covers just about every situation that the average homeowner would run into. It's well laid out, making it easy to navigate. While some things are a bit advanced (like the roof and chimney repairs), most topics are pretty easy to understand if you don't have much experience.

3-0 out of 5 stars Helpful hints indeed!
This book is surprisingly fun. You name it and this book has a tip on the most effective way to do it.I bought this book in conjunction with two other home maintenance and repair books and it has many items that were not covered in the other two. I only gave it three stars because I will probably only refer to this one after the other two to verify that there isn't an easier way.What would make this book better?I say combine this book with their "New Fix-It-Yourself Manual" (my top choice), and you have an ace book!

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is amazing.
I have not bought this book...yet.I recently borrowed it from the library, and will keep renewing it until they force me to return it.When they do, I intend on hunting it down at my neighborhood bookstore.

This book is very comprehensive for the do-it-yourselfer that is just starting out, and contains many neat tips and tricks that even the expert handyman would not have known.The book is extremely useful for everyday stuff, and even has instructions on those once a year fix-it items.

The book is arranged in different categories, such as Lawn & Garden, Plumbing, Electrical Appliances, with subcategories like pruning, toilets, and washer/dryer.About half of each page is covered with colorful handrawn pictures that apply to the tips listed.Most tips don't have pictures, but these are usually ones that don't require them.The other half of the page contains detailed instructions on how to replace/repair/install items of importance.These instructions have real pictures of the process, and are wonderful for reference.

I would recommend this book to anyone who owns a home.Once you buy it, read everything once so you'll know what's in there, then put it in an accessible place so you can grab it at a moments notice.

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of clever ideas and tips
While not a comprehensive home repair guide (superficial instructions and difficult to see and poorly labeled photos and diagrams), this book is a useful addition to a home repair library.When tackling a home repair, thebook provides numerious time-saving and result enhancing suggestions on howto make the job go more smooothly with a higher quality outcome.
