Man this was handy!:

I consider myself lucky to own this guide. The guide is straight forward and to the point, focusing not only on the steps to take, but also the precautions and pitfalls of projects. Even if you don't know a thing about home improvement this guide can walk you through many different situations step by step.

Do It Yourself!:

I refer to this book all the time. It actually helped me build my house and now it helps with maintenance and improvements. The instructions are clear, easy to understand, even for an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer.

extremely helpful:

using an earlier edition of this book, my husband and I built a three bedroom one bath addition to our home. I didn't know one end of a hammer from the other but the book was so clear in it's descriptions and illustrations that the project was completed beautifully. Just had to have the updated version for my use and to pass to the kids.

The Best Home Repair/ Improvement Book!:

I was turned on to Family Handyman Magazine years ago from a friend. I keep every issue. I didn't hesitate to get this book when I found out about it. Excellent pictures and information, as usual from The Family Handyman. This book is my favorite go to book for home repair/improvement.
