Customer Reviews

A terrific "how-to" book for those of us with 2-left thumbs!

The Bob Villa's and the Martha Stewarts certainly have their place in the literary world, but Andy Pargh takes a giant step forward by taking a giant step back. I like to do projects around the house and the Gadget Guru's book is filled with basic repair techniques even I can use and understand. And I have 2-left thumbs. I don't need expensive tools and advanced skills to do a project from this book. I can fix a sink, re-wire a lamp, or choose the correct fastener for hanging a picture on dry-wall. I enjoy his appearances on the "Today Show" and I think he has successfully taken his easy-going and humorous tv demeanor and translated it to the page. Gotta go now, my dryer is making noise and I think the drum belt needs tightening. That's on page 213. I agree with Andy, his book IS for the rest of us
