5.0 out of 5 stars This is an awesome guide to DIY stuff around your house, August 5, 2004
This review is from: Popular Mechanics Complete Home How-To (Hardcover)
I loved this book. I did not know anything about how to fix things around the house and what tools to use etc. This book helped a lot in understanding types of jobs, what tools to use, time and process and materials required.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get his hands dirty doing some work around the house and dont know where to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE, November 10, 2010
By 
River (Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This was a gift to us from my father-in-law after we bought our home almost six years ago. We've used this guide to design and execute such projects as refinishing walls, paver patios, small masonry projects, basic electrical work, insulation installation, tile floor installation, and much more - and many sections (plumbing) we have yet to use. This is our first reference and first go-to-guide for any and all home improvement projects and has become our absolute MUST gift for a first-time home owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, December 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this book for my brother-in-law, a fix-it man. I did give it to him. However, when I saw how beautiful the book and its illustrations were, I wanted it for myself. Who doesn't need to know how to do things around home?
