Great for the blooming DIYer

An indispensable guide to home maintenance, repair and project for the easily intimidated. Mag tackles each project with a "you can do it" attitude and a somewhat warped sense of humor. Sort of like what Home Depot would be like if you could find anyone to help you, they were knowledgeable, and not brain dead. A really warped sense of humor, I might say. I found myself "guffawing" out loud. My wife kept asking me what's so funny about a home repair manual. I get Mag's humor a lot because it's like mine. But my wife would not; she doesn't even let me watch Red Green unless she's already asleep (did that make sense? she's asleep, how's she going to stop me?) But enough about the humor. A lot of projects written up in a few pages will give you the information you need to fix that squeaky door, or whatever.

What your mother didn't teach you, (but should have)!

I read 'How Hard Can It Be', and then bought 7 copies as gifts for my grown daughters.
