The first one was a special price, say, $5, the next 23 were about $11.95 each. Total cost of approximately $280. I bought the whole set and was still rather useless at DIY.
You need to put your mind into it. Instruction manuals, charts, and diagrams can help, but you mainly have to work at it and learn from mistakes while leaving your ego behind and recognizing when you might be over your head, when you need to ask for help, and if necessary, when to hire a professional.
If you thought you were going to suddenly become an expert by buying a set of impressive books sized precisely the same to look aesthetic on a bookshelf, I could have saved you $280. Next time ask me before you make such an impulse purchase and repeat the impulse 24 times. 🤨
I have a tap that's dripping. Can you photo shot the relevant page so I can fix it? Now assuming there are 100 pages in each book I reckon I owe you $0.12 (rounded up) I think I can hack that.
@Gusman TBH I've used YouTube over the last 15 years. Repaired a a washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker hood, Dyson. Usually I'd buy new. The parts are so cheap and savings on labour unbelievable. I hate the throw away society although some products are manufactured in such a way they make repairs hard. Always remember to isolate electrics!!⚡
