I started reading this book yesterday. It is enormously helpful and easy to understand. I wish I would have had it many projects ago. But, it is going to help for my next home improvement endeavors. I’ll put it in the tool caddy for easy referencing. I’m a do-it-herselfer and urge any woman to give it a shot. Way to go Paige! Thanks for doing the book.

Page has created a wonderful “how to” primer. I especially like the featured icons that summarize the project by difficulty, estimated time to complete the projects, what tools you’ll need, shopping list, total price, and HAP- if you had to “hire a professional” cost. This book has many easy-to-follow diagrams and drawings. Thanks Paige!

I thought the book and it’s advice a little too basic. I guess if you have no experience with fixing things it’s probably fine. More pictures would have been helpful. I did like the Tuff meter and the info at the beginning of each project.

I purchased this book because I recently bought a new house and would like to lay ceramic tile flooring and make a kitchen backsplash. The cover specifically refers to laying tile, so I thought this would be a good choice. Tile is mentioned exactly twice, neither time telling you how to lay it. This book isn’t really about home improvement, it’s home maintenance – how to clean your gutters, fix a hole in drywall, etc. Fine if that’s what you want.
