How to Fix Everything For Dummies

This is pretty much a required text for a homeowner. It covers most, if not all, of the minor problems that can crop up in a house, from small holes in drywall to creaky chairs to troubleshooting appliances that are on the fritz. It covers all the fixable problems with decent diagrams and easy-to-follow steps, and also tells you what you shouldn't tackle by yourself, whether that involves calling a repairman or buying a replacement. A good companion to this is Home Maintenance For Dummies , which covers some of the more involved and costly jobs around the house. Armed with these two books, you can save a lot of money (I made the cost of both back with my first DIY fix) and keep your dwelling in tip-top shape.

Good start for new home owners. Appreciation will grow with experience.

Gifted and liked

I bought this for my nephew who is a new home owner and was never really taught how to do things around the home. I skimmed through this and found it was very easy and descriptive reading...making it easy to understand for someone just starting out. He's a very smart quy and I'm sure he'll pick things up quickly!

MS KITCHEN GOODWRENCH HAS ARRIVED!!no extra repair person needed thank you. this book is a great gift idea for someone going on their own, getting married, or just tired of having to spend extra money where it's not necessary so thanks again. How to Fix Everything For Dummies

This was intended as a Christmas gift and the packaging (or lack thereof) didn’t protect this soft cover book. I received it with several creases on the cover. So that was unfortunate. Other than that, product is as advertised.

Good if you don’t know much about repairs. Easy explanations for common situations. Not for experienced folks.

Not all Dummies books are the kind you just sit down and read cover to cover. This is one of them. So what I did was read the intro and section heads, and perused the specific projects. As with all Dummies books, the language is clear and concise, with tips aplenty. I've no doubt this will be my go-to book for household repair projects.

This was a great purchase for lockdown for my teenager- he’s had a great time trying it all ! Easy read and decent size and well worth the money

The instructions are easy to follow and this will be a useful addition to my bookshelf.

Very useful book to have!!

Bought this for a friend but I def recommend this to others it has a lot of ideas to fix some stuff around the house

Great book, very useful, easy to follow.
