    • A Must-Have for Any DIY Enthusiast
I've been diving into the "Ultimate Guide to Home Repair and Improvement, 3rd Updated Edition," and it's been an incredible resource. The book's detailed instructions and numerous illustrations have helped me tackle a variety of projects with confidence. One thing I really appreciate is how comprehensive this guide is. It covers a vast array of home improvement tasks, making it my go-to reference for any repair or upgrade I need to do around the house. The step-by-step approach is fantastic, breaking down complex projects into manageable steps that even a novice can follow. The 3,400 photos and illustrations are a standout feature. They provide clear visual guidance, which is essential for someone like me who learns best by seeing how things are done. It's almost like having a professional guiding me through each project. On the flip side, I did find that some sections assume a bit more prior knowledge than I had. It might be beneficial for absolute beginners to pair this guide with some basic tutorials or videos for certain tasks. Despite this, the book remains highly valuable and informative. In terms of content, I love that it includes money-saving tips. As a DIYer on a budget, finding cost-effective solutions within the book has been a game-changer. It doesn't just tell you how to do something but also how to do it without breaking the bank. Using this book has been a rewarding experience. It has empowered me to take on projects I might have otherwise hired out, saving me both time and money. If you're into DIY home repairs and improvements, this guide is definitely worth adding to your collection. ... show more

I will say this covers a TON of material. The problem is that when when you're looking for a particular issue that you need to fix, you may only find it covered in a sidebar with little detail. That said, I would buy it again as it's a good starting point to prepare for just about any home project. YouTube videos can fill in the details and specific practical advice. ... show more

    • Already proven itself
I got this as a practical “coffee table” type book … and also as a tangible item to encourage my husband to take some ownership of our home maintenance (his first non-rental). Of course he hated the passive meaning behind the gift, but it already helped us (me) fix a broken faucet. YouTube and google let me down in figuring out what exactly I needed to do. This book helped identify root cause of the issue and better understand what I was actually trying to fix. It’s also beneficial for listing out proactive home maintenance items that you probably wouldn’t even know to “google” until they became real problems. Basically I’m saying that it’s easy to assume you can go to the internet for these things , but reality is you probably won’t until something becomes an issue and even then you may not know exactly what you should be researching. This book is organized well and provides a good understanding of how to take care of your home. It’s handy to have around. ... show more
