Very affordable book with lots of info to reference for the new/young homeowner! I have a copy and give it as gifts to friends for housewarming!
Rating: 5 / 5
My recommendation would be to not buy this book. Unless you mostly want to read about how to hire a contractor. There are a few books out there much better for the weekend do it yourselfer then this.

Having just entered into home-owning (versus apartment-dwelling) I’ve embarked on a crash course in home improvement. So far, this book has been a good resource, especially in terms of =illustrating= what I’m supposed to do. I need the visual cues to understand how part A is supposed to fit into part B and so on. This is one book I think I will be referring to often.
