Hilarious adventures in home renovations and repairs, from a real-life Red Green.

Meet Brian Harris, a (mostly) retired, self-proclaimed jack of all trades with a knack for home improvements and inventive money-saving schemes. Armed with a soldering gun, his trusty 9-foot ladder, and of course the handyman’s secret weapon - duct tape - Brian’s projects start out as simple chores: trim a tree branch, stain the cedar siding on his home...but all too often they end in costly disaster.

Sometimes he’s trying to do the right thing, like the time he wrecked his pool while saving some baby ducks. Often, he channels his inner MacGyver: he once taped his hockey skate back together so he could finish his rec-league game, only to get suspended for falling on the referee when it broke (again). But usually, he’s just trying to save a buck, like the time he accidentally destroyed an expensive car key fob because he wouldn’t pay the (outrageous) $10 fee to have the new battery professionally replaced.

Filled with funny and entertaining true stories from the everyday life of an average guy just trying to save a few dollars, The Cheap Handyman is a tribute to anyone who has ever thought, “Sure! I can do that!”

I didn't want this book to end

As a young handyman I understand, and can relate to a lot of the situations mentioned in this book. However the humour and facepalm moments give it a twist that I personally don't experience when doing my own projects. The writing style is rather informal compared to other books but that in itself made the book feel more like a conversation with an old buddy. I enjoyed every bit of it and would give it more stars if I could. I'd recommend this to anyone who works in trades or anyone who is or wants to be a handyman. There are things to learn in this book. Honestly I think anyone who wants a good laugh should read this. The stories are short, to the point and very entertaining.

Simple plans gone wrong. We can all relate!

This little book of misadventures is a real gem. For anyone who has owned a car, house or other equipment, we can see ourselves in most of these situations, and probably get reminded of our own disasters. Mostly the damage is to the ego and the wallet, so in the end we can laugh along with the author. The biggest lesson seems to be, you have to tackle these everyday challenges with a sense of humour. Hopefully there will be a second book that recounts some actual triumphs by our intrepid DIY’er!
