25 Repairs & Projects You Really Can Do Black & Decker® Plumbing 101 gives complete, failsafe directions for overcoming 25 of the most common plumbing problems facing homeowners. Aimed at the homeowners with little or no do-it-yourself experience, the book assumes no previous knowledge, and eliminates all the guess-work and confusion. Readers can easily save hundreds, even thousands of dollars by making their own basic plumbing repairs rather than calling in a professional plumber. And it's remarkably easy. Some of the projects included are: thawing frozen pipes, fixing a burst pipe, retrieving an item from the sink drain, stopping toilet runs and adjusting or replacing tank components and replacing a kitchen sink faucet, plus much more. …handy resources for homeowners as well as renters, no matter where they live. Here, with electricians and plumbers drained, such books verge on necessities…. They'll also make you feel as though—as the title says---you really can do this. Really. About the Author Dave Griffin is a professional handyman, landscaper and writer.
