BOOK: Home Basics - Plumbing Made Easy

Every homeowner knows that if you wait long enough, a home project will pop up. Whether out of need (a clogged drain), or because of a want (add a sprayer kitchen faucet), there are always plumbing projects available around the house.

For most homeowners, household fix-it projects aren't a daily occurrence, and the knowledge to perform even some of the simplest projects isn't common knowledge.

For author Ron Hazelton, these projects are daily occurrences and in this book he walks you, step-by-step, through the most basic and most common plumbing projects all homeowners will encounter. Even if you've never picked up a pipe wrench, you'll be able to easily follow the steps to plumbing home repairs and improvements.

Projects in this book include:
• Protecting pipes from freezing
• Perfect caulk application
• Replacing a faucet
• Replacing a dishwasher
• Repair a toilet
• Fix a damaged garden hose
• Create a fish pond
