Books 4 Learning Home Repair & Do-it-Yourself Stuff
Hi,
Anyone know where I could find a good resource for reading material on repairing and maintaining anything at home? I know way back... there used to be a time-life series on home improvement topics. Does anyone know if that was any good? Does anyone know if there is anything else aside from that one could read to gain knowledge on this subject? |

home depot sold it own line of fix-it-books. They were thick orange colour books with plumbing, painting, etc. If you are tight on cash I bet there should be something in the library too.did you do a search on chapters.ca?

Homedepot books are really good.
I've heard people use them, then return them. Like a library.

I think it's good to look at multiple sources for any first time do-it-yourselfer (me included). I've never found that all-in-one book that covers all the angles. I have used the Home Depot, Stanley and Black & Decker books for home electrical/flooring, etc. All are good.

I like the Black and Decker books as well ...
Electrical code simplified is a good one for the details on CDN based electrical codes. It doesn't show you how to do it but tell you what is allowed. |
