5.0 out of 5 stars best DIY book on the market, 22 Sep 2004
By Ms. Alex Earnshaw "avearnshaw" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Can Do it: The Complete B&Q Step-by-Step Book of Home Improvement (Hardcover)
I wasn't expecting much when I bought this book as I have always found those B&Q 'HowTo' leaflets unintelligable. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this book is absolutely brilliant. It covers a huge range of DIY projects, going into great detail in most cases, and with great pictures to boot. I own several DIY books including the Collins manual and several others and this is without a doubt the absolute best of them all. It's a one stop reference for any DIY project. Well done B&Q.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy as pie, 13 May 2004
By Danny Blackburn (Shrewsbury, Shropshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Can Do it: The Complete B&Q Step-by-Step Book of Home Improvement (Hardcover)
Having just bought my first house as a total DIY novice I was gutted to discover that when I moved in, the heating and hot water were not working.

Faced with the prospect of a hefty plumber's bill I rang around friends and family who were baffled as to what the cause might be.

But armed with this clear, simple and jargon-free reference book I quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it using nothing more than a length of garden hose. And now I totally understand how my heating works!

This is a indispensible guide to the terrifying tasks a new home contains, and fills even the most bumbling fool with the confidence to have a go. You might not be ready to convert your attic after a flick through it, but even relatively major problems will suddenly seem surmountable.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC EASY PEASY....NOW I CAN DO IT!!!!, 18 Jun 2005
By Cmv Brewster "cb1" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Can Do it: The Complete B&Q Step-by-Step Book of Home Improvement (Hardcover)
Being a new house owner I didnt have a clue how to do anything....its never as easy as it looks on those TV DIY programmes!! I was given this as a pressie from my parents (I think as a hint that what i had been doing so far was VERY wrong and VERY shoddy!)

This book was added to the pile of other DIY manuals....However after picking up the bright cover and actually managing to install my kitchen i realised what a godsend this book is!!!

It breaks the mould from that of other DIY manuals. Its colourful easily laid out and informative but without going into loads of faffy un-neccesary information.

I like the fact that it actually goes down to the basics of DIY (explaining the different types of floors/walls and ceilings) which can benefit anyone who doesnt actually know how a house is built!

Fab book would recommend this to any prospective or established DIYer.
