I will say this covers a TON of material. The problem is that when when you're looking for a particular issue that you need to fix, you may only find it covered in a sidebar with little detail. That said, I would buy it again as it's a good starting point to prepare for just about any home project. YouTube videos can fill in the details and specific practical advice.

Awesome DIY book. This is what I was needing this whole time. Yes the YouTube videos do a great job but not every video goes into every problem and I feel this book covers a lot of those issues.
