Description: That leaky roof! That dripping toilet! Those drafty windows! Sometimes all the work a house needs is enough to make the average homeowner sell it overnight and move into a deluxe condominium complex. But now homeowners can stay home and sit fight with the newly revised second edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Trouble-Free Home Repair. It provides solid information on diagnosing and fixing a problem with maximum effectiveness and minimum time and expense.

They learn how to do what they can when electrical, heating, or plumbing systems go haywire -- and how to judge whether or not they can do a job themselves or need to call in an expert. It's all here, along with tips, definitions and warnings that help out along the way, and clear illustrations that show exactly what to do.
