Plumbing: Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Projects
A home's plumbing system is generally "out of sight, out of  mind" because it works reliably with little input or effort from  the homeowner. When things finally do go wrong, however, the  result is often an expensive, messy, and disruptive job.  Henkenius, a master plumber and frequent contributor to Popular  Mechanics magazine, has written a colorful title that is  probably the best do-it-yourself guide to plumbing projects big  and small. Nearly every plumbing scenario is addressed, from  cleaning drains and replacing faucets to installing a bathtub  and replacing pipes; the clear instructions are supplemented  with excellent color illustrations and photos. A wealth of  general plumbing information and definitions provides beginners  with the background needed so they can evaluate their plumbing  problem and not get in over their heads. The only thing better  than owning this book would be to have Henkenius there to hold  one's hand. An essential public library purchase.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
