Damaged upon arrival
The pages were folded over and I pressed them flat as I could and still didn’t work. This is a gift and now I have to replace it and hope that this time it doesn’t arrive damaged. I was supposed to drop it off today. Now I have to wait and see if I can even have the gift ready by tomorrow morning.

    Covers a load of areas with simple tips and diagrams - even an expert homeowner will know less than half of them, and what they do know they're probably really proud of knowing. It's honest and authentic, telling you when to hire professionals and when you can save your money.
