Creative Homeowner Ultimate Guide Home Repair and Improvement

Absolutely a great book. I purchased it because I am going to be starting a home renovation. It covers everything and then some of what I was planning on doing. It has helpful tips and great illustrations. I also thoroughly enjoy the routine maintenance tips that are provided in the book. There are definitely some important things that I have added to my to-do list. The tips alone are worth every penny of what you pay for the book. The only reason I did not give the book 5 stars is the newest publication of it is somewhat outdated. There is nothing about home automation products. All in a ll a very good book and would definitely recommend it to others.

The plot was slow and predictable, funny in some parts, not enough romance. I couldn't relate to the main characters, so I didn't care if they succeeded. This book is like a cross between 50 Shades of Grey and 1984. The setting starts out vapid and colorless until the invasion, and then the author picks up the literary crayons and gets to work coloring. The real star of this show is the neighbor. He is both amicable and sympathetic, without being too much of a goody-two-shoes to be palatable. I'd watch the movie as long as it was cast well. Three stars.

I bought this for a family member that bought a new house and is doing home improvements for the first time. I looked at this at a book store before buying it and was impressed with how detailed the picture and diagrams are. This book really is a one stop shop for how to complete many home repair or construction projects. It includes sections on everything from plumbing and electrical to framing, drywall, and brick work. It is detailed enough that you can use it to approach complicated jobs with little experience but its laid out in a way to make it very easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book!

Love this book. As a new homeowner and a jack of all trades but a master of none, this book is the perfect reference for a new homeowner who may need a little help with some projects around the house. The new update took the landscaping out, which I was hoping to use this spring. They now have a whole new book on landscaping. That was what lost a star. Recommend this very useful reference.

As a home remodeler, I know how many times a homeowner is mislead or just plain ripper-off by contractors. My daughter and husband just bought a new home and although it may not need any major improvements, this book will help them to understand the basic workings of their home. "Knowledge is power!"

A must have for homeowners this book covers just about everything! As a Do It Yourselfer this is a great foundation to support fixing all those honey do list items.

Very good condition. I’m very pleased with my book!

I bought it as a gift for my son-in-law which I don't think he thought was funny......lol! His wife loves it though. Ha

I have purchased this and two other Black and Decker books. those two are nearly identical and are good as well. I find this book has better photos and details as well as more relevant projects.The layout is great and is easy to find a project you want details on.If you are doing something specialized like with electrical or plumbing it may be a good idea to pick up a book for that content, but this does cover the basics well.

Has a lot of useful information, but is far from the complete resource I was looking for. Oddly inconsistant in their level of detail. Some sections are covered completely, others glossed over just briefly. I'd have liked a bit more balance.

I bought this book two years ago since I was purchasing my own home. This book has proven useful for many little and big tasks alike. This book is a must if you don't want to spend and spend for home repairs you would or could do by yourself.

So much knowledge and reminds me of the books my dad had when I was a kid. Looking forward to learning from the book

I briefly looked through the book but I find many of the chapters/topics REALLY brief and basic. I feel that more description per job is needed.
