Title: Good enough to hold a conversation
Product review: A little background: the bad news is I didn't grow up with Saturday power tool time with Dad, and I now just bought an old, old house that needs lots and lots of renovations. The good news is that I do like to learn, and after calling a few all-inclusive contractors, I found out quickly that it's much cheaper to do it myself (if/when I find the time).I bought both this and the Reader's Digest. Both are great, as I can cross reference both of them, and the "instructions on the box." Further, when it's a job I think that's too big for me/beyond my skill set, I at least have a clue as to what is going on and can have an intelligent conversation with the handyman. Plus, I can pick his brain on his experience on other issues not related, and get check it against what I read as well.Great book(s) for anyone owning a home, and doesn't have the money/luxury of affording a gc.
