With the potential of buying this place in Ohio, one thing comes to mind. Home repairs. Now I know a little about how to do things around the house, but when it comes to older homes and home repair, knowledge is power. You don’t want to be spending money on a repairman if you could do it yourself. There is a website that will help you become the knowledgable repairman that you know you can be, and you know you want to be. It is called doityourself. With doityourself they offer tips and advice on everything from how to wire older home to replacing the roof. They have over 100 active forums for you to ask a question in, so you never have to feel alone with your projects.
Of course asking and seeing are two separate things, that is why they offer DVDs on how to do things. How many times have you been involved in a project reading what to do, when if you saw somebody do it then you could have probably done it right the first time, instead of paying for your mistakes? The DVDs are a lifesaver when it comes to home improvement projects, even something as simple as changing out a light fixture could be disasterous if you don’t know what you are doing, so having a step by step DVD to show you couldn’t hurt right?
