There are certain skills that are "wasted" on no one.  Home repair is one such skill.  I believe that 5 weeks after purchasing this book - the book has already paid for itself.  My parents moved back into my  grandmother's 1960-era house after she passed away last year.  The house  was in need of a few repairs, but money was a limiting factor.  I had to  find a way to teach myself (and my dad) how to weatherproof the basement,  replacing an ancient water heater & dishwasher, replace several outlets  with new GFCI (p. 397!) outlets, and finally, how to update the upstair's  faucets and fixtures.  I logged onto Amazon.com and typed-in HOME REPAIR.  To be honest, I chose this book because it had 500+ pages and two 5-star  reviews.  When this book arrived, I instantly felt the weight and quality  of the binding.(think college textbook material)  I quickly found DETAILED  descriptions of the tasks I would soon have to perform.  I called my father  and said "Get ready we're going to Home Depot!"  On the phone, my  father expressed concern over our lack of experience.  When my father got  in my truck, I handed him the the Black&Decker text.  I had put  PostIt's on the pages with our projects.  He slipped on his glasses and  peered through his bi-focals and didn't say a word on the way to purchase  tools & supplies.  Once in the parking lot, I could hardly turn-off  the engine before he was pointing to pictures saying "Ours looks just  like this!  I want some gloves like that!"  And he was making a  bee-line for the door!(the old man can move!)  He was excited and so was I.  Now, it has beeen 5 weeks since that first trip to Home Depot.  Both my  father and I have the cuts and scrapes and the ever present sore backs to  prove that we have done our own home repairs.  My father now keeps the  Black&Decker text at his house "for safe keeping."  He cleans  the text with a moist cloth after each project.  The projects don't seem to  have an end in sight, which I believe is a direct result of my dad reading  the text for "suggestions."  My suggestion....don't let anyone  "borrow" this text, unless of course - you love him!

I'm reading the other reviews here, so I thought I'd weigh in, hoping it will help the prospective buyer.  This book is about as good as it gets for do-it-yourself home repair.  Lots of home repairs are far easier than you think, and just take time and maybe some new tools.  Even with the cost of new tools, it will often be cheaper than calling a professional.  Yes--there are really complicated repairs I would leave to a professional, but this book helps with the simple things that you just need basic instruction on.Case in point--my toilet was leaking from the base.  I have never installed a toilet or taken one apart.  I had no clue why it was leaking.  I turned to the leaky toilet page and saw that there is something called the "closet" where the toilet connects to the floor and there is a wax seal that may have leaked.  A plumber could cost $50-$100 just to come out and look at the toilet.  Maybe more for his labor.I went to Home Depot and bought a new wax seal for $3.50, and a mini-shop vac for $40 (new tool--yay!).  Turned off the water valve, flushed the toilet, used the shop-vac to suck out the residual water, disconnected the water line, removed the 2 bolts connecting the tank to the bowl and removed the tank, removed the 2 bolts connecting the bowl to the floor and removed the bowl.  Scrape off the old wax, put on the new wax, bolt bowl to floor, bolt tank to bowl, reconnect water.  Yes--I may have figured this out on my own, but one is always hesitant to go in to a job not knowing what to expect.  This book holds your hand a bit and has great photos.  Now, if I had removed the toilet and found the closet flange overly corroded, I may have called a plumber.  But I fixed the whole thing for $43.50, an hour of time, and I got a new shop-vac!If you don't know a screwdriver from a hammer, then no book in the world, including this one, will help you.  But if you have basic tool knowledge and a bit of courage, this book is the perfect and only companion you need.  And when all else fails, you can always call a professional to fix it up.  Armed with lingo from this book, you will be able to describe the problem better and perhaps avoid being ripped off as well.
