    i dont use the books either. i would rather have someone show me how so i can do it myself. but i have also wondered about some of these shows that come on saturday mornings. i do not know enough to question them but some of them look fishy to me.

    Geeeeeezz Barb, all of the 'good' ones I've ever used are on that list.

    My guess - some of the trades unions got hold of these books and are suggesting that we common folk aren't doing the job to someones code. And in some cases, probably right, particularly the electrical books

    yea, I'v looked at some of those wiring books some scary stuff in there. I have a very old set of popular mechanics self help books from the 70's.. they contain everything from setting the dwell on a points ignition to building a bird house. there fun to look at but the information is so outdated it's funny...
