Covers many of the things that a homeowner may need to know.
Another plumbing how to book. Covers many of the things that a homeowner may need to know. I have several similar books spanning decades and they coverage varies with new inventions but also topics. No one book does it all.

Girl, get it
I had a shower issue to the point that I needed to turn off the main water that goes to my house, I had a plumber come out and they gleefully quoted me $885 and then I busted open this bad boy, well let me tell you this book showed me exactly what I needed to do the part cost $20 and it took about 15 minutes to read up on how to do it properly and maybe 10 minutes to replace the part and now it's as good as new! This is information that you cannot find online! I want to emphasize that because a lot of people will say "why do I need to buy a book when I can just Google it" I tried googling it I tried looking up videos and there was nothing specific or helpful enough as this book it's just so worth it. You're going to need it at some point you might as well get it now.
