Review: Basic Home Repair: Home Improvement DVD

The Basic Home Repair: Home Improvement DVD is designed to provide complete details and lessons on home repair topics including energy conservation, home security, replacing a faucet, sweating copper pipes, replacing toilets, unclogging drain clogs, replacing the caulk on a tub, replacing lighting fixtures, repairing broken lamps, replacing tiles that are cracked and broken and replacing broken or clogged shower heads.

Basic Home Repair: Home Improvement encompasses a wide variety of different repairs that the average home owner is going to have to deal with in his or her lifetime. It is designed to give home owners an easy way to deal with small repairs, informing savvy home repair people of ways to save money while resolving these problems. Each problem is presented with step by step instructions that address these minor and more challenging repairs which become prevalent in every home at some point in time. The instructions that are included with this DVD are actually even printable right off of your computer, if your computer is capable of reading DVDs.

Most of these repairs are based on a home improvement show that aired during the mid 80s. While this DVD does not provide a lot of insight into newer techniques and tools, it is still an excellent reference tool for anyone looking to make basic home repairs to lighting fixtures, plumbing, stuck drains and other parts of the house that can often fall into basic disrepair.

This is a great resource for any homeowner, regardless of whether you just want a reference that you can occasionally skim, or an in depth description of how to make repairs on your home that you were previously unfamiliar with. Most of the details that you will find on this DVD are just your basic stuff, so you will not find much on demolition, construction or heavy duty home repair projects, but these require the assistance of a contractor anyway so don't bother. Instead, the "Basic Home Repair: Home Improvement" DVD does exactly what it claims to: It gives you basic step by step home repair instructions for a wide variety of different home repairs and home improvements.

So whether you are looking for assistance on un-sticking a clogged drain or replacing a shower head, replacing a toilet, replacing the caulking on a bathtub or other bathroom fixture or fixing a copper pipe that is leaking or sweating, there is plenty of useful information to find within this useful DVD, and the printable directions that it offers for each project within. This is an excellent book for anyone who is a beginner to home repair, or who needs a refresher course on the basic step by step processes involved with home repair and home improvement.
