We're on our way (slowly it seems) to finishing the purchase of our first house, and for I'd really like to buy a good DIY book for my hubby. Can anyone recommend one?

How about this one (http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/templates/content_lookup.jsp?content=/bq_advice/books/main.jsp)

I couldn't live without the Reader's Digest one :thumbsup:

and it's surprising how much of it's info I've regurgitated on these pages only to be asked if I'm in the trade ;)

I've got a Readers Digest book that I sometimes have to refer to. I like it as there are lots of pictures and diagrams which go from the basics like how to replace a tap waasher all the way to build your own house [well nearly]
