Product Description
From the Author
Thanks for your interest in my book!
I have been *so* thrilled by the wonderful reader response to my book -- from both women AND men! My goal in writing this book was to make home repair accessible to those of us (and I'm certainly one of them!) who didn't grow up in a "handy" household. As intimidating as it can be when you begin, successful home repair really ISN'T rocket science. Perhaps you have an itch to hang your own miniblinds, or you're tired of waiting for someone else to un-stick the garbage disposal. We give tips and directions -- plus fix-its for leaky faucets, drawings to help demystify the innards of a toilet, instructions for repairing broken windows and other kid-related casualties, and more. Whatever your home repair project, dig in and enjoy! There's nothing quite as satisfying as a job well done -- especially one you've done yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars
a money saver,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Woman's Fix-It Book (Paperback)
This book paid for itself the first time I changed an electrical switch. I am getting psyched up for working on the drippy faucet. I am now enlightened about the mysterious workings of the toilet and know I will probably never have to meet the plumber. My only criticisim is that I thought the lesson on installing an underground sprinkler system was a bit far out and doesn't truly fit the category of "Incredibly Simple Weekend Projects" I was researching how to change a toilet, which turned out to be simple enough after I watched and paid someone to do it. I would definately include that how-to in the next edition.

A Terrific Help!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Woman's Fix-It Book (Paperback)
This book is a must-have for anyone doing their own home repairs. Step-by-step directions are presented in clear, simple language. Each section begins with a list of all necessary tools--no surprises just when you've got that toilet tank in pieces! Illustrations actually look like what you need to see. Even my dad asked for a copy of this book!

De-Mystifies Home Repair!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Woman's Fix-It Book (Paperback)
This is the perfect book for those of us who know nothing about home repair. Its step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, without technical jargon or mystery widgets. The cautionary notes help allay my fears that I could do something dangerously dumb, especially in the electrical and plumbing sections. This book is a "must" in homes where no one's "handy!"
