Product Description

Review
The fact that 2.75 million copies have already been sold prove that this "Complete DIY Manual" is a DIYers life saver. Now a fully updated 2003 edition, with new sections included, it should be a must for any homeowner who cares about his biggest asset - his home. Whether you are an expert DIYer unafraid to tackle plastering or carpet-laying or a novice wary of even a lavatory ballcock, this superbly presented guide will be of assistance. Fully illustrated, clearly laid-out and succinctly written, it will act either as an aide-memoire or a beginner's indispensable step-by-step guide. Electrics, woodwork, decorating, plumbing - just a few of the topics enclosed within its sturdy covers, offering advice, instruction and inspiration for the home and garden. A must for every homeowner even if it is only referred to in an emergency when it will answer the problem quickly and efficiently. - Lucy Watson

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the DIY Bible, 16 Oct 2004
By I. A. Bagnall "iain_bagnall" (Hertford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When we received this book as a Christmas present a couple of years ago, we smiled politely but were not overly excited.
However, since then, we have taken on various projects and have consulted this DIY Bible every time. Whether laying down foundations for a shed, planning a garden pond, removing an old fireplace, plastering, fixing taps, you name it, this book has given us ideas and advice. For yourself or for presents it is invaluable, and cannot be recommended highly enough. We will be giving at least two as presents to new homeowners this Christmas.
If you have a home of your own, you should have a copy of this book. Get one.
