Reviews

[Byron Wright · Rating 2 out of 5]

I picked up this book from the library because it has Bryan Baeumler's name attached to it. However, it definitely seems more Reader's Digent than Bryan Baeumler.

It's fine as a light overall home maintenance book but nothing exciting. You can give it to your kids when they move out of the house, but nothing here for someone that's already pretty handy or is comfy searching on the Internet.

I enjoy any book that saves me money, and my husband enjoys any book I don't buy because that saves us money. However, this book he found useful. There are many useful tips, some of which I learned decades ago and some which were "light bulb" moments. This book is great if you don't already have a half dozen similar books and it's okay if you do.
