Oblivious as usual, I had no idea how much I'd appreciate it when I bought this book the same day we put an offer on our house. I bought this and a similar Black and Decker book. This one is far superior.
I have referred to this book and found something useful for every project. Siding, roofing, framing, insulation, wiring, gutters, concrete, and windows are just a few projects supplemented by information from this book. Even if it does not answer my question, the information in this book usually points me in the right direction for a subsequent internet search or additional book purchase. I probably refer to this book weekly for my own house projects.
Not so helpful

I was dissapointed with this book. It had great pictures and information about home repair but many of the subjects did not give any tips on how to do the repairs. For example tuck pointing bricks: The book showed examples of when it needed to be done but there was not one tip on how to do it.
Short on details 2001-05-25
I regretably returned this book since it did not describe how home improvements should be done but instead it just describes what needs to be done. The book read more like an encylopedia than a "do-it-yourself" manual - lots of information but not very helpful. I much prefer Standley's home repair manual which describes, for instance, how to caulk or different techniques for sanding.

ultimate book on home improvement 2001-02-10
This is the perfect book for the do-it-yourselfer. This book easily paid for itself on the first project that I used it for. Detailed instructions on every kind of project. This is a must have book for the home handyman.
