Repair Advice for the Real World

Do you need Help?

1. When faced with unassembled furniture, your first instinct is to:
(a) stare blankly
(b) panic
(c) return it

2. You associate screwdrivers mainly with:
(a) vodka
(b) orange juice

3. You have often wished your living space did not involve:
(a) exploding toilets
(b) wildly varying temperatures
(c) a new pet mouse

If you chose any of the above, this is the book for you!

Whether you live in a house, an apartment, or a 9 x 12 dorm room, chances are pretty good that sooner or later, something in your home will break. So why not be prepared? If you can barely tell a nut from a bolt, then Help, It’s Broken! is your quick reference for all home-repair issues. Expert Arianne Cohen explains what to do in dozens of real-life scenarios, including when:

•your favorite earring slips down the sink

•your key sticks in the front door lock

•your air conditioner stops cooling in mid-August

•you’ve painted the bedroom window shut

Illustrated throughout, this handy reference also includes tips on security and pest control, plus a useful yearly maintenance calendar and resource guide. Best of all, Help, It’s Broken! shows you not only how to fix it all yourself but how to get other people to fix things for you—on the cheap, or even better, for free.

Be Calm in a Crisis

2007-07-26
This book not only explains how to fix common household problems, it also helps you figure out who and when to hire an expert, and what questions to ask. I have fixed my toilet and leaky faucets -- all by myself. The chimney cleaning and repair jobs were hired out -- happily. It's easy to read, easy to look up specific household repairs. Wonderful explanations on how things work.

Funny _and_ helpful? A must-have

If you buy just one basic home-repair book, get this one; I couldn't believe that it would actually come in handy, but when my college ring fell down the sink, "Help! It's Broken" helped me save my jewelry and keep my sanity-- without calling a plumber. I was also happy to find that the guide came without the zzz factor of most home repair books; it's obvious the author put a lot of time into making sure readers wouldn't get bored or frustrated.

I would highly recommend this book for any new homeowner, renter, or college student; I'm planning on getting another for my friend's housewarming gift.

A must have for home and apartment owners!

This book covers everything and the author has a great sense of humor throughout. It reads well and is the first home-repair book that is easy to understand
