Great for Beginners Feb 20, 2006
By Kyle Word
I'm a "shade tree" electrician, doing very basic jobs here and there in our house. Recently I had a ceiling fan with three-way switches that I couldn't figure out. Complicating matters is that there was an extra line going into the box. With the help of the clear diagrams in this book (pages 164 and 166, specifically) I was able to confidently rewire the box and make the fan, light and switches work properly for the first time in 3 1/2 years. This is typical of what is possible using this book. The clear diagrams show different ways to be able to work on things with confidence, which is half the battle.
Highly recommended.

Best DIY book I've ever read! Dec 13, 2007
By D. Lawson
All I planned to do was to add a new outlet in my bathroom. NOW, however, I plan to add a few, add a new circuit to the panel box, add a few outdoor lights and install 3 recessed lights above my bed in the master bedroom along with a switch so I can turn them off before I go to sleep. Heck, I should make it a two-way switch so I can turn them on when I come in the room.
This book started me from the beginning - planning and how to ensure I wasn't putting too much on one circuit. Explains basic concepts if you care to read them, and how to fix, add or change just about anything electrical in exactly the detail needed to be confident you can do it.
I'm a mother of two trying to re-do my bathrooms and not have to fork out 150k (the estimate I got for a bathroom remodel). I am buying the other Stanley books now - tiling is next!

Great & useful Aug 16, 2007
By Allen E. Dewitt
This is a really well designed text. Very userfriendly. They talk you through sections that might give you pause, and give you plenty of well-taken photos to document what they mean/for you to look for.
The honest truth is, 99% of home wiring can be done by you, with the basic tools you probably already own. This text will help you get those done. From the planning, to the purchasing, to the work itself, just take a deep breath, and a few bookmarks handy.

A well-laid-out manual Jul 25, 2006
By Anita C. Challis
"I like things that work properly"
Because the information in these types of books is often the same (DIY is DIY after all); the presentation becomes very important. The Stanley series of home improvement books has step-by-step instructions with a large volume of clear photos and diagrams. I learned how to install a ceiling fan using this book and feel confident about doing basic electrical wiring in my house.
If you are a beginner, read all the safety instructions... very sensible advice.

 The photos are nice. But, more details would help. Aug 08, 2008
By 3rdGen
This book contains tons of high quality, color photos. The photos take up about half the book. Although the photos are nice and give me a good idea of what I need to do, I still found myself wanting a more detailed explanation on many of the topics. I am fairly handy around the house. Yet, I found myself needing and wanting information that this book did not mention.
In all fairness, if the book went into details on all of the topics, it would be a foot thick and cost a lot more.
