Home Maintenance For Dummies, 2nd Edition (For Dummies Series) Paperback – 9 Oct. 2009

Given as a present apparently very useful

BOUGHT AS A GIFT - RECIPIENT SEEMED PLEASED TO RECEIVE IT!!!

I thought this would be a good source of hints & tips and although I'll keep it as a generic source for 'have you thought about...' there are better guides around. It should have been absolutely clear, but then again I guess I was the dummy for buying it in the first place without fully checking.

Authors American and seems orientated to American homes, eg cleaning products refer to borax which is not available in UK.I was looking for a DIY book which this is NOT. Perhaps my error but even considering that I think its not really for a uk audience.

Well there are lots of practitcal and useful tips for anyone and everyone who wants to try things for themselves.

Can't comment - bought as a gift

This an American version and irrelevant in most part for the UK

Gives the basics
