Grab Your Tools and Dive right In!
20 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover
As with the other DIY books in the 1-2-3 series, the editors have done a wonderful job of formatting and organizing the material in this book. Many times plumbing jobs are emergencies-- water leaks, overflowing toilets, and so forth. The layout of this reference book provides quick and easy solutions to your immediate needs, as well as long-term plans for other home improvement projects.
As an organizing coach, I use color-coding on a regular basis, and encourage my clients to do the same. So I was thrilled to see that the sections are organized by color-coded tabs for easy access. From general plumbing information to creating a plumber's tool kit, you can plan your project and gather your tools before getting started, which is the perfect way to organize any task. The WORK SMARTER sections are a must read, especially the 12 Tips For Getting The Job Done Right The First Time (great time management tips, guys!) . And being the visual learner that I am, I especially like the detailed photos of assembly and repair throughout the book.
Whether you are experienced in household projects, or a member of the DIY-impaired, Plumbing 1-2-3 will give you the confidence you need to tackle those plumbing projects, and help you know when to call in an expert.

Highly accessible to lay readers
13 Dec 2001
Format:Hardcover
Aptly edited by John Holms, Plumbing 1-2-3 is a detailed yet easily understandable home plumbing maintenance and repair guide ideal for the non-specialist general reader with no prior experience or expertise. If you can hold a screwdriver, you can take an active role in the upkeep of your own plumbing. Chapters cover such topics as the supply system, the drain-waste-vent system, installing tubs, showers, sinks, faucets, toilets, or appliances, and outdoor systems. In addition to the straightforward, point-by-point text that is highly accessible to lay readers, Plumbing 1-2-3 is superbly illustrated throughout with full-color photographs on every two-page spread, unambiguously depicting each step of the meticulous instructions. Plumbing 1-2-3 is a very highly recommended and "user friendly" guide, particularly for the do-it-yourself homeowner - five minutes of reading now can save hundreds of dollars in future repair or utilities bills!

Outstanding

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have received the Plumbing 1-2-3 and found it to be outstanding. I have used the book to complete the plumbing within my new 80X50 steel building. This book saved me time and money! Great!
