Good reference, but expecting more
It’s still a reference but I must confess that I was expecting more technical tips, but still recommended.

Great Manual and I Feel It Has Been Worth Every Penny
I am very pleased with this book as it covers a wide amount of DIY subjects and gives clear instruction with pointers along the way. I like the Home Depot guide that had multiple home topics too but found it lacking in many areas where as this one has blown it out of the water in every way for the projects I've done so far. All of the information it has can be gotten off the Family Handyman website and/or application but for anyone that does a lot of DIY stuff on their home knows that trying to use a computer/smartphone whole working on something they are not familiar with is the worst and if horribly inefficient. Not to mention that if you have a "mishap" and a mess happens then worst case scenario you would only be out less than 25.00 to replace this book instead or the hundreds on your electronics. I don't usually give reviews or even long ones when I do but this reference text is something I stand behind for anyone who is a home owner so I thought I'd throw my opinion out there for anyone that's interested.
