As usual, Money Magazine had a few good tips for homeowners. This month they had places to find reliable and clear instructions for do-it-yourselfers, two books and a website.
The first book is called Home Improvement 1-2-3 from The Home Depot. It takes you step by step through the simplest weekend projects to the most complex, with photos and beginner-level instructions. If you're planning to replace a light fixture or tile a backsplash, this is your source.
The second is called Renovation, by Michael W. Litchfield. It takes on bigger projects, like sealing leaky roofs and finishing basements, and includes tips on diagnosing problems and picking materials.
By all means, check out the website. ThisOldHouse.Com is designed by the craftsmen from the long-running TV show on PBS, and the site is full of topnotch buyer's guides, design advice, planning tips and easy to follow directions.
