5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely vital for the do-it-yourself homeowner, December 14, 2001

By	Pixelgoddess (Florida) - See all my reviews

This is the only home repair book I have found that shows you how to repair your oven, how to light pilot lights, maintain air conditioners, and fix your dishwasher. It is easy to find books that show how to do carpentry and drywall. It is a rare gem that gives excellent illustrations to take care of your major appliances. This book paid for itself with my first repair - I fixed my own oven. Put it on your bookshelf next to the Reader's Digest Complete Do-it-yourself manual. You can fix anything!

This book is a Must have book for any homeowner. I already own several kind home improvements, but so far I prefer this book much better than my other books.
