DIY books take on 'honey do' lists with creativity, fun
"If I Had a Hammer : More Than 100 Simple Fixes and Weekend Projects" by Andrea Ridout offers step by step instructions and black-and-white illustrations for common household projects that take less than a weekend to finish. The methods in the book are complete and easily followed. Some of the roles are : removing stains, updating appliances with pretend stainless-steel, adding wallpaper cutouts to your bathroom, fixing leaky toilets and restoring a kitchen with new cabinet hardware. The book offers projects for outside spaces, too. Balancing work and life is that much harder when you're employed where you live. "Live / Work : Working at Home, Living at Work" by Deborah K Dietsch ( Abrams, $35 ) has leading edge concepts for those fighting with this agreement. Featuring thirty home offices from massive to little, in garages and backyards, permanent or brief, the guide offers solutions for the normal and ultramodern homeowner. A "lessons learned" section for each 
space offers recommendation about researching zoning laws, making grand or private entrances to the new area and mixing styles and materials to make the the majority of your space. Have some home repair to do? Don't go for your toolchest just yet. Grab the peanut butter or the Kool-Aid instead. "Joey Green's Fix-It Wizardry : More Than 1,971 Quick-and-Easy Household Solutions Using Brand-Name Products" by Joey Green ( Rodale Books, $17.95 ) offers quick and cheap solutions for home repairs. Arranged alphabetically, the book's just about two thousand creative fixes include : fixing a damaged dishwasher with Kool-Aid, removing water stains from wood furniture with Miracle Whip, removing wallpaper with Heinz white vinegar and cleaning drive spills with Coca-Cola.
Sidebars and a "strange facts" section make the practical book a fun read. Have no idea what to use to embellish your floors, kitchen countertops or bathroom? What about tiles? "The Home Decorator's Tile Bible : a total Guide to Using and Selecting Tiles" by Morwenna Brett ( Firefly Books ; $29.95 ; hardcover ) is a guide to picking decorative pieces that are easy to use and install. Tiles come in a selection of materials, colors, patterns and finishes. With over 800 photographs detailing the flexibility of tiles the book offers step by step instructions explaining the way to achieve your desired results. Make a journey thru these pictures from Matt Millen's noisy reign as the Lions President and Boss man . Free Press cartoonist Mike Thompson offers his musical take on previous Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's bye. Ever been curious what's inside? Check our archival photos taken within the Manoogian Mansion. Hungry? You'll be after you see a special studio of the finest sandwiches the area has to give.
