Part first-time homeowners' guide (how to replace a fuse), part cooking instruction manual (how to wash lettuce and keep it crisp), part stockpile of advice from Mom and Dad (removing stains, changing your oil), this encyclopedia of life skills comes packaged as a fully illustrated, easy-to-follow book. It's a survival guide of sorts, full of 138 step-by-step projects—how to tie a tie, boil water, iron a shirt, build a doghouse, rewire a lamp, make a dingy T-shirt white again, prime a surface for painting, jump a battery—to teach readers practical skills of woodworking, cooking, sewing, plumbing, electricity, cleaning, and more. Full of sidebars, lists, and bonus how-tos, like the top ten items that should be in every wardrobe (for men and women), how to wash lettuce, and how to shorten (and lengthen) a hem. A complete book for those who are just starting out in life—without home ec and shop class on their résumé—as well as those whose skills might have grown a little rusty over time.
