The home depot series of books are without question the best "do it yourself" project guides around. There may be more comprehensive books out there in any given subject area, but these are the best for a single, simple reason: They use only parts that one can get at a Home Depot. Of course, this is shamelessly self serving, but it's also hugely useful when one doesn't care about much other than fixing whatever happened to break on the house today. ( )
