Big Book of Small Household Repairs (Reader's Digest Woodworking)
Wing (The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, LJ 8/90) offers this do-it-yourself guide to 243 projects that can be considered "too small" to involve professionals. The result is a cookbook for homeowners intimidated by the sheer number of small annoyances that can arise in a home. Using clear prose and plenty of illustrations, the author provides step-by-step instructions for each repair. Lists of recommended tools and materials are provided for each job, occasionally accompanied by a tip that makes the job easier and the result more elegant. Topics are grouped by type of device (e.g., kitchen, bath, insulation). This is a solid effort, well organized and presented.
