This book is amazing!I can't seem to put it down!I live with one of those "I'll do it later Honey" kind of guys and as you can imagine my "honey do" list was getting out of control with my patience right behind it!I heard about this book that gives you step by step process to all the projects that seemed so difficult before.Home Depot knows me by name now and my list has been shrinking by the days!Just the feeling you get when you accomplish projects that before you had to wait for the "man" of the house or a repair man to do!Not only did this book show me how to do the projects, it gave me the ability to reach down deep & realize I could do it which may have been the biggest struggle of all.I recommend this to ANYONE who is stuck in the rut I was once in or ANYONE who plans on doing any kind of repairs or home improvements.I am now kicking myself because of all the money I have spent on repairing things because I had to call someone to come out and now I realize I could have been doing it myself the whole time! Before my house consumed me and now I can finally say I consume it!Funny how only a few weeks ago I was frustrated and irritated that our house was in my mind falling apart...now I can say I am getting ahead of things!My husband just asked me the other day why I was tearing the house up and fixing things that weren't even broke...I said because I CAN!I think that was the best feeling of Power I have had in a really long time!Don't say "I can't do that" or "Call the maintenance man, something else is broke" until you read this book because you can and trust me you will!
