Short on details, 25 May 2001
By T. Toth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Book: The Ultimate Guide to Repairs, Improvements & Maintenance (Hardcover)
I regretably returned this book since it did not describe how home improvements should be done but instead it just describes what needs to be done. The book read more like an encylopedia than a "do-it-yourself" manual - lots of information but not very helpful. I much prefer Standley's home repair manual which describes, for instance, how to caulk or different techniques for sanding.

This review is from: Home Book: The Ultimate Guide to Repairs, Improvements & Maintenance (Hardcover)
I was dissapointed with this book. It had great pictures and information about home repair but many of the subjects did not give any tips on how to do the repairs. For example tuck pointing bricks: The book showed examples of when it needed to be done but there was not one tip on how to do it.

This review is from: Home Book: The Ultimate Guide to Repairs, Improvements & Maintenance (Hardcover)
Oblivious as usual, I had no idea how much I'd appreciate it when I bought this book the same day we put an offer on our house. I bought this and a similar Black and Decker book. This one is far superior.
I have referred to this book and found something useful for every project. Siding, roofing, framing, insulation, wiring, gutters, concrete, and windows are just a few projects supplemented by information from this book. Even if it does not answer my question, the information in this book usually points me in the right direction for a subsequent internet search or additional book purchase. I probably refer to this book weekly for my own house projects.
