“How did I come up with the idea for Mrs. Fixit?” asks Terri McGraw rhetorically. “I married Mr. Break-it!” After years of hiring expensive repairmen and contractors, McGraw decided to try her own hand at home repair. With no experience other than growing up watching her parents do their own handiwork around the house, she taught herself through trial and error. Mrs. Fixit was born! McGraw found that many tasks that she once paid someone else to do were really quite simple. Her friends took note, and soon she was passing on her newfound tips and tricks. That led to local television segments on home repair, then to a booth at conventions, then to other appearances, a website, a book, and now her second book! The key to Mrs. Fixit’s success is versatility and simplicity. Her message is that you don’t have to be an expert in home repair to successfully tackle the many jobs and projects people face as part of owning a home.
