Can anyone reccomend a good home repair manual for a first time
homeowner. I am looking for something that explains everything but am
mainly inetrested in framing, plumbing and electrical (the wife wants
another bathroom).

If you live near any public library, it probably has a
couple of shelves on this topic. Publishers of good
homeowners' manuals include Readers Digest and
tool makers e.g. Black & Decker.
