Written by Alison Winfield-Chislett & Jo Behari, this book is the ultimate reference guide for doing your own household repairs and simple renovations.
Covering all the basics, from preparing surfaces for painting and papering, using power tools with ease, choosing the right materials and simple plumbing. Full of expert advice, this handbook will provide those interested in home improvements – or those wanting to increase the value of a property for resale – with the basic DIY skills and guidance to get the job done.
Perfect for the DIY novice, whether homeowner or in rented accommodation, this stylish and user-friendly book will be an invaluable guide for a whole generation of women & men (if they can get past the title).
Price: £12.99 (free shipping to the UK).
Freeeedooommm through the DIY Guide for Girls: the book that can take you on that journey from depending on others (you know who you are!) to ‘fix-it’ to the glorious freedom of getting it done yourself.
Need to start on the path with baby steps? The Guide takes you through small projects to help build your skillset. It also covers the basics of how your home works so you can make informed decisions about what’s wrong and how to deal with it yourself or hire a professional if you haven’t got the time.
All the nuts and bolts are presented with a dash of humour and lively artwork to keep your spirit level straight.
I’m delighted with the book and plan to supplement it with specialist courses at the Goodlife Centre to get all my projects done.
