Andy Kane, famous as the resident carpenter and handyman on the BBC’s Changing Rooms, has written a brilliantly simple beginner’s guide for anyone new to decorating and DIY. Never wielded a paintbrush in anger before? Hammers are radar-guided to hit your thumbs? Don’t worry, this is the klutz’s friend, the idiot’s handbook. Before he even starts to tell you how to fix anything, he takes you on a guided tour of the average home, explaining how it is all put together and how it is supposed to work. He goes pretty slow, so no one can get left behind:
Your house walls tell you a lot about how they’re built, especially if they’re of plain brickwork. If all you can see are the long sides of the bricks, then you have cavity walls–two separate walls, each one brick thick, set about 50 mm (2 in) apart and held together by metal straps called wall ties. The gap in the middle stops any rainwater that gets through the outer wall from reaching the inner one, and in modern houses it often contains some insulation too.
Having introduced us to the fabric of our houses, Handy Andy then explains what tools we’re likely to need before embarking on concise step-by-step instructions for most DIY and decorating tasks, followed by an A-Z guide to common problems in which he answers, for example, three questions about electrics, three on leaks and overflows, four on locks, and so on. There are illustrations on every page to back up the words and make the explanations even clearer (occasionally even more pictures might have been useful). He takes care to tell the reader what you can do yourself and when you need to call the experts in, and gives numbers and addresses for professional associations and Web sites that will put you in touch with contractors who aren’t cowboys. Finally there are checklists of things you need to look at every six months, every year and every two years. All in all, the book covers most things the beginner could want, although the real enthusiast may want to move on to the more weighty “Reader’s Digest” Complete DIY Manual or The “Which?” Book of Do-it-yourself. –David Pickering

Customer Review: A great DIY book for complete beginners
This is the only DIY book I own and it contains all the information I am likely to need. It has a very brief section on the basic systems in your house (water, heating, electric) just the basics you really need, presented in a way that is easy to understand and the rest of the book tackles all the DIY or decorating jobs you would ever want to do. It tells you what you can do yourself and doesn’t assume you have any prior knowledge of decorating/ DIY, what problems to look out for and when to call in the professionals. A great book for anyone (particularly women) buying a house, it will take up very little space and could save you a fortune.

Customer Review: Excellent
Title sums it up really. Bought as I was starting to renovate an old house. It’s got damp, needs bathrooms, kitchens, exterior problems etc…. This book helps a lot to indentify and solve these, at a minimum you know what you can do and when to call in the professionals!
Customer Review: How to do everything … in two paragraphs
There is no denying the scope of this book is, to say the least, comprehensive. It covers almost every topic imaginable in DIY from dry lining your basement to capping the chimney and covers it at every range whether you just want to change a fuse or rewire the entire building. That scope though is both its virtue and its problem. Yes I can pick this up and be fairly confident that it will tell me how to go about building a stud wall but I know that it is also likely to be something of an overview of the subject rattled off in a few paragraphs. Often that is enough. There are a lot of jobs where a grasp of the basics and a willingness to have a go are good enough and if I’m laying new paving slabs I’ll read this and go for it. Alternatively there are some jobs where I’d like a little more expertise than this can provide. Yes this book will tell me how to change the main fuse box but I’m not going to do that when it means working on the live side of a 100 amp line! In those cases though at least it lets me know roughly how difficult the job is so that I don’t sound like a complete numpty when I call an electrician and ask if they could replace the ‘thingummy by the front door with the fuses in it’. I’d say to anyone that they should buy this book even if you don’t ever intend to do the DIY yourself. If you do the DIY this is a good first reference to find out what to do. If it’s not comprehensive enough then it will give enough of an overview that you will know what to look for when searching for more detail and if you do get someone else to do the job you’ve a better chance of knowing if they’re doing the right thing.

Customer Review: Anyone can DIY
I first took this book out at my local library and after several renewals decided to buy it. This is the bees-knees of all DIY books. Very well illustrated and layed out. The step-by-step photographs are a god send and make the projects very easy to understand. Im a modest beginner, ill try my hand at most things before dragging in the builder or the plumber ect, but this is a MUST book to buy if you fancy having a stab at variuose building tasks, I can assure you you this is the only book you ever need to buy on the subject.

This revolutionary new system endorsed by the MIA (Music Industries Association) gives total peace of mind over the security of your instrument. These D.I.Y kits come with everything you need to attach the unique laser-etched microchip to your valued instrument. These microchips are smaller than a 5p piece meaning you can hide them away from view on the instrument. They have no power source - so will last a lifetime - and are impossible to replicate. Included in the pack is everything you need to manually attach the microchip to your instrument (gluing is required - adult supervision recommended) and the relevant forms to get your instrument registered on the National Register of Musical Instruments. This register is accessible by the Police 24/7. Instructions for fitting the chip are on CD-ROM. * Five years of registration on the national database is included free of charge. * Aids the police in finding you as the owner if a stolen instrument is recovered by them. * There is no catch or extra fee, other than renewal of the database registration in five years.
