This book is perfect for anyone but especially young adults and new homeowners. It covers anything needed to fix anything with easy-to-follow instructions. I just used it when my washing machine started leaking. Unfortunately for me, it was a bearing that had to be replaced and labor intensive. I highly recommend this book!
