DIY home repair/improvement question

we have a lot of little projects we can do ourselves but want some guidence as to how to do it..
(ie: putting up mouldings,deck upkeep etc)
is there a good website to go to or a book to pick up to use as a reference?
or should i just annoy everyone with all my questions?
haha

thanks!

just make sure you get all necessary permits... any changes in plumbing, electrical, or structural changes (wall demo, or new deck) usually require a permit

I bought Reader's Digest Complete Do-it-yourself guide (got it on amazon). I've used it for a few things so far (unclogging a sink drain, replacing a piece of siding that flew off the house in a storm, changing door knobs, etc). It has a ton of info in it, might be worth checking it out...Chat Icon
