Any recommendations for good books on the practical aspects of domestic

Since very little has changed in those terms, look in the charity shops
for the Reader's Digest DIY book.


As I pointed out to friend recently the most useful chapter in the book
he had on domestic wiring was the one on resuscitation after receiving
an electric shock. His practical experience on electrics was zero and he
had purchased some inappropriate wire on the advice of someone working
in a local hardware store for a job he was about to undertake.


Well the choice of wire wasn't the cause of his shock then.
