I picked up a few black & decker books from prior to purchasing our first home. It's definitely a fixer upper. We knew there'd be trouble. Immediately there was. This book has allowed us to sail through the worries of shoddy plumbing with much greater understanding and the ability to do basic repairs. We still called a plumber for the big stuff, but at least I understood what he was doing.
Although code requirements for plumbing don't change all that often, I always make sure to own the most recent edition of this classic DIY book. Unlike books from any other publisher, Black & Decker books are regularly updated to include the most recent information, and each edition adds whatever is latest and greatest in the world of DIY. I have now owned all six editions of this book, and the investment has been a good one, as it's no exaggeration to say that I save many times the cost of the book by doing my own repairs. If you question this, just call a plumber and get a bid for him to come and replace your kitchen faucet and garbage disposer. And after the shock wears off, have a look at this book to see how easily you can do it yourself. I have many books on home DIY, and this one is one of the very best.
It's best if you have done some minor plumbing before. The book doesn't explain how to remove a push-pullbathroom faucet core, for instance, or go into any detail how to replace a garbage disposal. I'm giving thisbook to a friend that knows something about plumbing already. The complete book of home Wiring has amuch better method of instruction for that application. The book did show garbage disposal replacement, butdidn't go into enough detail for someone like myself who has very limited plumbing experience. Hence myrecomendation for someone with plumbing knowledge already.
Very informative supplied way more information than I needed. Served my purpose well. I imagine any handy man would find it useful to be able to carry out his "Honey Do" duties plus some big plumbing jobs you might want to undertake after reading. Very informative.
I bought this book hoping for some basic help with minor plumbing problems in my house, but this book is far too technical for those of us who aren't either plumbers or experienced home handymen. I'm a beginner with plumbing and this book is just useless to me. I don't understand plumbing jargon and the book doesn't explain it. I'm going to donate it to charity.
Lots of great detailed information with pictures! Will continue to purchase these B&D books to learn more on my DIY projects.
Very easy to understand for someone that doesn't known much about plumbing.
Helpful and informative!
