    About this ebook

    "My toilet was running all night. I knew it was wasting water. I couldn't afford a plumber because I'm a single mom. After following the simple instructions in the book, I fixed it myself. I saved enough on my water bill to pay for the book and the part. I didn't have to pay a plumber. That was cool."
    Janice

    "My refrigerator quit cooling. We bought a new one and put the old one in the garage until we could sell it. After I read the book, I followed the directions on how to clean the coils. In ten minutes it was back running like a top. I just wish we had the book before I spent all that money. Do you know someone who needs a good frig?"

    Jeff Cross

    Above all, I'm a father and a grandfather. I've began writing first to entertain my family, hence my fiction novels for children. When I began getting lots of calls about technical information concerning my job, I decided to write some non-fiction books. I am an ICC certified combination inspector for a small to mid-sized city in East Texas. With the background in construction and the education from several apprinticeships I've been able to obtain several trade license including a masters. I now do consulting for home construction and I'm working on a series of books to help the common man (or woman) understand how plumbing and electrical systems work.

      Acknowledgements

      A great many contractors spent time visiting with me about common problems that arise with their customers. It is their goal, I find, to help their customers in any way they can. Information passed on helps our customers financially and enables us to better communicate. In this way we better serve them and are more efficient… as stated by a local technician/owner. I thank all of you for your time, insight and assistance in this endeavor.

      A special thanks to Jim Geraci for his time and effort as a model for the cover of this book. Although some may think the cover is not tasteful, our model is a true gentleman and I applaud his hootspa.
