A do-it-yourself book for every woman who would rather be self-reliant than rely on a super or contractor. No matter the depth of your pockets or the size of your home, a toilet will get clogged, a circuit breaker will trip, and a smoke detector will stop working. It's up to you how you'll deal with them - live in denial, pay the piper, or get real and do it yourself. The book demystifies these home repairs by providing information that other books leave out. You'll learn how to: Take the plunge - from fixing a leaky faucet to cleaning the gutters. Lighten up - from removing a broken light bulb to installing a dimmer switch. Keep your cool - from maintaining a refrigerator's gasket to changing the rotation of a ceiling fan. Get a handle on it - from replacing a doorknob to repairing a broken window. Play it safe - from planning a fire escape route to installing a smoke detector. Filled with detailed illustrations, THE HOME REPAIR BOOK provides even the most repair-challenged person with the ability to successfully fix things around the home. Once you start, you won't want to stop.
