About this ebook
Never mind the big renos, it's all the little jobs around the house that can end up costing you a fortune - unless you can do them yourself!
Find out how, with handyman and DIYer Scott McGregor, in this essential guide to fixing everything around the home. Full of step-by-steps, simple instructions and lots of inside tips, Fix It will show you how to do all those tricky little jobs you'd rather not pay a tradie for. Get the good oil on: tools; products; materials; greening your home; minor and major repairs; painting; furniture repair and restoration; basic plumbing; decks; outdoor furniture; picture hanging; damp; kitchens; wet areas; floors, walls, doors and windows; carpet repairs; repairing built-ins; and much more.
With easy-to-understand diagrams, Fix It is a must-have item in any home tool kit, next to the hammer, the power drill and a length of wire (just in case . . .).

Borrowed it from the library twice, now buying it. It's a great little book, full of useful how-to's around the house. Well written and actually just a good book to sit and read, even if there's no urgent need to fix anything yet.
