Norma Vally's Bathroom Fix-Ups

More about the book

The DIY movement for women extends beyond traditional crafts; many are now taking on significant home improvement tasks. With 23% of power tool purchases in 2004 made by women and nearly 4 million more unmarried females owning homes from 1994 to 2002, women are increasingly handling home repairs and renovations themselves. A Home Depot survey revealed that 73% of women wish to learn more about home improvements. Enter Norma Vally, a unique figure in the construction world—former model, television and radio host, and advocate for women in DIY. As the host of Discovery Home's Toolbelt Diva, she empowers women to take control of home projects. Through her radio show, tool line, and top-rated TV series, she educates women on home repair. The Norma Vally book series is vibrant and informative, offering practical tips for women to confidently manage their homes. In her guide on bathroom renovations, Norma helps readers assess their needs—lighting preferences, functionality, and storage—while distinguishing between tasks suited for professionals and those they can tackle themselves. Jobs are categorized by difficulty, covering essential elements like sinks, toilets, and flooring. The book is infused with Norma's upbeat, can-do attitude, encouraging even the most hesitant renovators. Additionally, it includes a $9.99 DVD featuring Norma demonstrating key tasks, enhancing the learning experience.
