Awesome Do it herself Album and Music Offers

This is NOT your father's home repair book!

And it's not your husband's, your brother's, your boyfriend's, or the guy's next door. Dare to Repair is a do-it-herself book for every woman who would rather be self-reliant than rely on a super or contractor

No matter the depth of your pockets or the size of your home, a toilet will get clogged, a circuit breaker will trip, and a smoke detector will stop working. It's up to you how you'll deal with them -- live in denial, pay the piper, or get real and do it yourself.

Dare to Repair demystifies these home repairs by providing information that other books leave out.

In Dare to Repair, you'll learn how to:

• Take the plunge -- from fixing a leaky faucet to cleaning the gutters.
• Lighten up -- from removing a broken light bulb to installing a dimmer switch.
• Keep your cool -- from maintaining a refrigerator's gasket to changing the rotation of a ceiling fan.
• Get a handle on it -- from replacing a doorknob to repairing a broken window.
• Play it safe -- from planning a fire escape route to installing a smoke detector.

Filled with detailed illustrations, Dare to Repair provides even the most repair-challenged woman with the ability to successfully fix things around the home. Once you start, you won't want to stop.

The time is right for an authoritative how-to guide written by and for women. Statistics show that 85% of women are or expect to be solely responsible for a home at some point in their lives. And single women now comprise the second largest group of home buyers, just after married couples. Author JoAnne Liebeler approaches home improvement from a woman's perspective, with a blend of expertise and wit that women will appreciate. This book was created specifically for the woman of the house, with detailed explanations of how a house works, how it was built, and how its systems function. JoAnne elaborates on what tools work best for a woman and why, how to succeed at do-it-yourself projects, and when to call in outside help. Everything is covered: Walls, floors, plumbing, electrical, exterior maintenance, and common repairs. And with special sections on pest control and home safety/security issues, this is a must-have reference. Features:

Home improvement primer written by a woman for women homeowners

As Mommies, we can do almost everything that our children need. We nurture them, feed them, bathe them, play with them and love them. We can do almost anything—until it comes to baby proofing As soon as we see the words “drill a 1/16 pilot hole” most Mommies run screaming for Daddy. The idea of using a drill or screwdriver sometimes seems as foreign and daunting as overhauling an engine or building a house from the ground up. Would you like to find out the three steps to choosing a baby safety gate? Do you know how to protect your child from drowning in your own home? This book answers these questions and more.

Mommy Can Do It: A Do It Herself Guide to Baby-Proofing helps take away the frustration often associated with creating a child-safe home by empowering Mom to “do it herself.” No more does Mom need to wait for Dad to install the baby safety gate or to hire a baby-proofer. This is the only child safety book available that touches on important child safety risks in the home while focusing on helping Mom create a “Totsafe” home.
