- Synopsis
- This handy book is easy to read and easy to use. It covers the basics, suggests useful tools and gives step-by-step instructions for making repairs. It contains a clear table of contents and a useful index. I put this book to use during a holiday weekend. The toilet stopped filling and flushing and a plumber would have cost my year's salary. What I know about toilets is this: push the handy, listen for the noises which make kids laugh, all is well. If the handy does nothing it might be the thing which falls off and rusts. By following the instructions in this book, I repaired two problems without assistance. People who are blind will find that the directions and descriptions make sense without benefit of diagrams and pictures. Oh, yes. Don't be surprised if you catch your teenager or husband peeking at this book to sneak some information for their projects, too. Topics: Tools and Materials; Painting and Papering; Walls and Ceilings; Door Troubles; Window Problems; Electrical Repairs; Plumbing Repairs; Floors and Stairs; Furniture Repairs; Concrete and Masonry Repairs; Outside Repairs; Heating and Air Conditioning.
