Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
In this capable, comprehensive manual, master plumber Henkenius shows homeowners how to tackle expensive plumbing repairs (e.g., replacing a washer in a leaky faucet). As with other Ultimate Guide titles, the current one boasts an excellent layout and solid organization. The skill level of each project is rated, and photos walk users step by step through the instructions. This is an updated and expanded edition of Plumbing: Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Projects (2002), also by Henkenius, but it covers almost identical territory. If you don't own the 2002 edition, do not hesitate to snap this one up. Strongly recommended for all collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
