Probably the definitive book on this subject., 9 Jul 2006

By	Book Worm (Kent UK) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic. It was bought for me by my dad when I bought my first house and it is one of the most useful books i own. It covers most subjects you are likely to need in any home DIY situation, as well as garden DIY and relevant legislation that may affect your DIY projects. I cannot stress enough how invaluable this book is and how often I've referred to it, even if I've decided I'm not confident enough to tackle the problem and call in an expert. A must have along side your tool kit.

This book will pay for itself!, 11 April 2006

By	Richard Butlin (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Within 2 hours of getting this book it had paid for itself by clearly showing me how to repair a broken ceiling light. I'd been planning on paying an electrician to do the work, so I guess it must have saved me about �50 for that alone!

It's completely up to date, including all of the new building regulations that might affect the average DIYer.

Would definately reccomend this for anyone who wants to be shown how to do, and be given the confidence to try, most DIY projects.

I saved thousands.
Honestly, the money this book saved me in being able to do-it-myself, or in other cases, know when a cowboy builder was trying it on must have saved me thousands over the course... Read more
