A Beginner's Photo Guide to Fixing, Maintaining, and Upgrading Every Room in Your House
The toilet won't stop running. The door sticks every time it rains. A light switch just died, and you're standing in the hardware store aisle with no idea what part you even need.
Most repair books are written by professionals, for people who already think like professionals. This one isn't. It's written for the exact moment above — for the homeowner who has never held a drill with any real confidence and just needs someone to explain things clearly, without jargon and without judgment.
Inside, you'll find:
- 74 real repair and maintenance projects covering every room and system in your house
- 83 real photographs — a picture at every key step, not just diagrams
- A repeatable format for every single project, so you always know what's coming
- A troubleshooting section for when something doesn't go the way the book said it would
- A clear line on when it's smarter to stop and call a professional
- A season-by-season maintenance calendar, so small problems get caught before they become expensive ones
- A smart shopping guide showing you where to buy, when to buy, and how to avoid overpaying
- A bonus video companion for every chapter, linked through a scannable code, so you can watch the technique before you try it
You'll learn how to unclog a drain without chemicals, silence a running toilet for good, patch a wall your kids turned into a canvas, safely replace an outlet, paint a room like someone who does it for a living, and keep your home's heating and cooling running efficiently all year. Whether it's a dripping faucet, a wobbly cabinet hinge, a squeaky door, or a fence post that's finally given up, this book walks you through it the same way every time: what's wrong, what you need, how to fix it, what to do if it doesn't go right, and when to hand it off instead.
Topics include:
- Water & Plumbing
- Walls & Surfaces
- Doors & Windows
- Floors
- Electrical (Safe & Simple)
- Kitchen & Appliance Repairs
- Bathroom Upgrades
- Quick Household Fixes
- Painting
- Carpentry & Woodwork
- Heating & Cooling
- Outdoor Maintenance
- Seasonal Upkeep
- Smart Shopping & Budgeting
You don't need experience. You don't need a garage full of tools you don't know how to use. You need a willingness to try, and a guide that treats you like someone capable of learning — because you are.
Your home isn't going to fix itself.
Open this book, and find out exactly what you're capable of.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
