The Stanley Complete Step-by-Step Book of Home Repair

“If I’ve learned anything about living in a space, it’s that things inevitably break… and the right things are worth fixing. The deadly specter of home repair strikes us all at some point. My aim in making this recommendation is not to turn everyone into a self-professed handyman (although, it’s possible you could do that). I instead share this to provide you with an inexpensive, comprehensive guide to repairing almost ANYTHING related to your home that’s been invented up until the turn of the 21st century — so that you can complete the small jobs yourself, and know what to look for when recruiting others to help you sort out the big ones. Extra bonus: It is an easy, hand-holding delight to read.”
