Buy this instead --> Collins Complete DIY Manual (Hardcover) November 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have the Reader's Digest DIY Manual and the Collins Complete DIY Manual (Hardcover). Do not bother with the Readers Digest as I always end up refering to the Collins Complete DIY Manual (Hardcover)! Whilst I agree this book is pretty good the Collins Book is more in depth and has more topics.

Buy Collins Complete DIY Manual (Hardcover) instead!

A rock solid guide to getting things done July 31, 2008

I'm not the world's most practical man, but this book was a godsend. It features clear, step-by-step instructions on everything you could need to do around the house or flat.

When I moved into my place, I just didn't know what to do about the plumbing and lighting niggles around the place. It saved me hunting for tradesmen, and let me know that I really could Do It Myself. Just yesterday I replaced the sink trap - win!

There's lots of information on the web (there are useful Youtube videos that are a nice supplement to this), but it's all in one place here - and you know it's reliable and more readable than print-outs. If you don't know how to drill a hole in a wall, start here. And if you're already an expert, there'll be plenty of useful reference tips too.

This book is the best of its type available

It bought it when we moved to our new house, and found some rather slip-shod DIY had been done by the previous owner. It covers anything you would ever likely need to know for home DIY.

This book will pay for itself in no time at all, be it through avoiding trademens costs, avoiding waste of materials or detecting "cowboy" builders. I've looked at other similar books, e.g. Collins, but I reckon this one is the best illutrated and easiest to use for the non-expert.

Probably the definitive book on this subject. July 9, 2006

This book is fantastic. It was bought for me by my dad when I bought my first house and it is one of the most useful books i own. It covers most subjects you are likely to need in any home DIY situation, as well as garden DIY and relevant legislation that may affect your DIY projects. I cannot stress enough how invaluable this book is and how often I've referred to it, even if I've decided I'm not confident enough to tackle the problem and call in an expert. A must have along side your tool kit.

This book will pay for itself! April 11, 2006

Within 2 hours of getting this book it had paid for itself by clearly showing me how to repair a broken ceiling light. I'd been planning on paying an electrician to do the work, so I guess it must have saved me about 50 for that alone!

It's completely up to date, including all of the new building regulations that might affect the average DIYer.

Would definately reccomend this for anyone who wants to be shown how to do, and be given the confidence to try, most DIY projects.
