A very very welcome addition to my DIY library. I own a TON of DIY, tool, method, and Home Improvement books. but I have found this book to be one of the most comprehensive and helpful on the market. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The TIPS alone are worth the price of the book, and the projects are functional, useful and easy to build.The repair methods and descriptions are well documented and easy to understand and complete.The section on tools and machines is great for those who don't fully understand the uses of various implements and power tools.All of this book is easy to understand; well-written, and complete in its material.
I purchased the book for a friend who just bought her first house. When I saw that this book was edited by the folks at FAMILY HANDIMAN I knew that was the book I wanted. I subscribe to that magazine and am totally impressed with the articles and projects. I'm hoping the Manual will help her do some of the simple tasks herself, thus increasing her self-esteem, and pride in her home. The instructions are given clearly so that we ladies are able to benefit.
This book has come in very handy. I agree with other reviewers that the instructions are not very detailed, but given the scope of the book I think it does a great job. We are always very sorry when we forget to consult it first because it inevitably saves us time and frustration. We are in our first house and home repair is pretty new to us.
very good detailed explanation on about anything you need to do around the house. Very helpful.
Gift for my son-in-law who's a landlord for the first time. He says it's really helpful, complete and easy to use instructions.
