I bought these books for my new homeowners, I am a builder, and new buyers seem not to know how to do a thing, this book is fab!! No more excuses!

This book was awful, if your considering purchasing this I suggest you find it in the library and take a quick look first.

Do you follow instructions easily? Then this Do-It-All manual is for you. I was looking for some insight on fixing small things around the house, like replacing my ceiling fans and installing new cabinents. This book covers all that, plus more. Plus, there are in-depth reviews of the basic mechanics of nearly all parts of your home; plumbing, electricity, masonry...it teaches you step by step the basic carpentry skills you need to be sucessful in any project around the house. I highly recommend it. I'm a woman who has always been great with her hands...and just needed a guide. With this book, I'll be the Mr. Fix-It in our house. :)

The only thing that could make the Big Book of Home How-To (Better Homes & Gardens) would be a spiral binding....This is a easy to understand handyman book that should be on every homeowners book shelf. If you don't want to do the job yourself this tells you what to look for form workers you hire to do the work....

This book has clear illustrations go to along with their directions for basic home improvement and repair needs. There is a large variety of information available in this book and has so far helped me with electric work and tile work. When it came time to call a professional, I felt better informed for the discussion of what I wanted for my house.
