Product description

Review

“. . . there are at least a handful of easy home remedies here that even major fumblefingers can successfully implement. Like touching up wood furniture with unsalted pecan or walnut meats. Using a steam iron to fix indented carpeting. Freshening up a no-start lawn mower with new spark plugs. Even getting rid of driveway stains with pulverized drywall (just allow it to sit overnight). It’s all thanks to the collected wisdom of Popular Mechanics, 115 years strong, synonymous with the ultimate in DIY knowledge. The book’s eight sections—bathroom; kitchen; walls, ceilings, floors; furniture and fixtures; gadgets; basement and mechanicals; garage and driveway; and yard—feature different formats. ‘Ask Roy’ fields answers to common questions. ‘Know your stuff’ highlights tools, materials, and their appropriate uses, whether fillers, painter’s knives, or screws. The ‘essential tool’ call-outs spotlight particular instruments that are critical to have on hand. And captioned, step-by-step color photographs bring clarity to specific tasks. From all of the above to battling moles to avoid lawn destruction, readers will count on Popular Mechanics’ advice.” —Booklist (starred review)

Disappointing. I thought this would be a larger coffee table book with more information. It's small with some random info - not worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Entirely useless
Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 2021

If you're looking for something that tells you step by step how to repair something, this isn't it. I'm not sure who this book is for, because if you can follow it, you don't need it. Basically if you want to learn definitions about faucets and stuff, maybe, but even then... not really useful.
Anyhow, it's no good, get home maintenance for dummies instead. They show you how to actually do things. With pictures and stuff.
