This book has been a life-saver. As a first time homeowner I have used this book to fix more things then I can remember.

When an appliance breaks down, it can be tough to scrape up the money to repair it. As a single income family, saving money is the name of the game! This book allows you to troubleshoot the most common problems, and most of the time fix it yourself! It's got other great tips and tricks as well, but I got it mainly for the help on our major appliances! Books on home repair are a dime a dozen, but a book like this pays for itself in just ONE use! A must have on MY bookshelf!

It's a good book, but lacks stuff like roofing repair, landscaping and other "necessities", while including stuff like fixing dolls which seemed unnecessary.

I constantly check it out from our local public library. I guess I need to buy a copy. I did a lot of car repairs when I was a student. Now I own a house and start to learn house repairs. Unfortunately a house doesn't have a manual. But this book is like a manual written for me.

I loved this book! I am a single female, and my dad bought it for me when I bought my first house. Now I'm going to buy it for a friend who just bought a house himself.

Just this weekend alone I fixed my ice maker and my garbage disposal using the book as a guide.

The pictures are great, and the language is easy to understand. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a great fix-it book.
