Book Reviews of Popular Mechanics Complete Home How-To

Book Review: MUST HAVE
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a gift to us from my father-in-law after we bought our home almost six years ago. We've used this guide to design and execute such projects as refinishing walls, paver patios, small masonry projects, basic electrical work, insulation installation, tile floor installation, and much more - and many sections (plumbing) we have yet to use. This is our first reference and first go-to-guide for any and all home improvement projects and has become our absolute MUST gift for a first-time home owner.
