I just borrowed this book from my friend and it was extremely helpful and funny too! It didn’t seem like the author was talking down to the reader at all. I also realized that Tool Belt Diva was the the author’s TV show. I’d like to see some episodes! It’s really cool to see a woman feel free to be feminine, even sexy, and still take charge with things that are typically “the man’s” job. Go Norma Vally!

I hate to say this, but my wife does most of the DIY in our home. She does it because she enjoys it, where for me it would be a chore. Also DIY stores know that most purchase decisions are made by the woman, so the book is spot on.

That sounds like a great book. People need to get over the fact that anyone can do anything they want.

She has missed such a good niche, she could have made a killing with the front cover concept, shame the text brings her down.

I am really glad someone has written a book about DIY for women. It is very much a mans job, and probably always will be. But for those women who don’t have any men in thier life, that book is so useful to do the smallest of things. I quite enjoy DIY, and always have done from an early age, i still only know the basics, but i certainly can put up shelves without them falling down. I am one of a few women Electricians in Bristol, and as you have to have a license to do this, a lot of women homeowners prefer to hire a woman electrician like myself, as they feel more comfortable.

I may try wallpapering after buying this book!

I was useless at home improvements until i decided to buy a relic of a house and then ran out of money. Iv found most jobs to be within reach if you can find the right info and advice. Iv bought a huge amount of diy books over the last 2 years so im going to add this one as well just in case!

And furthermore, I think this book you’re recommending “Chix Can Fix” will really get the attention of my husband! HAHAHAHA! thanks for the recommendation!

I used to live in an apartment but I don’t have any problems with home improvement books and other learning stuff regarding home decor. You see, I’m a home stager and I’ve learned a lot from them. but you don’t have to be like me to appreciate these books. Who knows, someday they might come in handy? Sort of, an affirmation perhaps. If you have books like these, pretty soon you’re going to end up in a big house, right? Now, I’m living in one!

Don’t get me wrong…I’m not anti women’s lib or anything like that and I’m not saying women are helpless and can’t do home repair things themselves I just think what’s wrong with having a man do the rough stuff?…That’s what their built for.

Why try so hard to be like a man and do it yourself when there are perfectly good men around to do these things?

Women today are becoming less and less comfortable or even knowledgable about femininity and allowing men to protect and provide for them. Just because we can do it doesn’t necessarily mean we need to do it…

Not all men try to take advantage of women…..there are some really great guys out there. It just makes me sad to see so many women trying so hard to be like a man instead of enjoying themselves as a woman.

Yikes Holly I’m also rummaging in the clearance bins at bookstores. I’ll be sure not to waste my few dollars on this book.
