Yes,you can! Home Repairs made easy

Ms.Pastor has addressed most basic home repairs in a very easy to read fashion.Good illustrations throughout.

Yes, anyone can...even guys.

I bought this book at the same time I bought "Chix can Fix" by Norma Vally. Both these books are great for beginners, especially when used in combination. It was really a big help when I moved out of my apartment and then moved into a new one. I often helped my dad with home improvement and repair projects but I didn't learn much from that. This book provides a really solid foundation and good recommendations for starting your tool collection. You definitely can see Amy Wynn's background as a carpenter since many of her projects are building things with wood. I'd say that some of the projects are intermediate tasks and weekend long projects rather than quick fixes. She also provides a wealth of tips and insights. It's also more formal than Norma's book in its writing style, which would appeal to a broader base of readers.

Have used one of the subjects already. Will definately keep it on hand for reference

Helpful and Fun

I bought this book as a housewarming gift for my sister, who has moved into her first home. Although it doesn't cover every possible situation, it has given her the confidence to tackle a few basic repairs, which has saved her tons of time and money. Thank you, Amy Wynn, for writing a reference book that is fun, useful and easy to read!

Simple, but informative....

Among the various TV home improvement personalities, Amy Wynn is one of my idols...she knows her craft! Ladies, don't be afraid to tackle home improvement repairs: this book is informative, has easy to follow instructions and clear drawings. So, get your tools and let Amy tell you how to fix it !
