Have you spent time on Saturday mornings watching Norm do his magic with tools on public television’s This Old House? Norm and his crew have assembled their home remodeling experiences into a number of great DIY books that will help you with home repair, as well as remodeling.

RELATED CONTENT

Two well-known DIY companies, Home Depot and Black & Decker, have developed a series of books that can help anyone manage the maze of repairs and honey-do’s that are part and parcel of home ownership.

Every week, on the Do-It-Yourself page of our Web site, you can see new DIY projects and how-to information to inspire and instruct you. In addition, while on this page, click next to the orange hammer icon to view a list of all our Do-it-Yourself–category articles from 37 years of the magazine, such as building an attractive book nook  and painting your house exterior.

The bottom line? Don’t call a professional until you are certain you can’t handle the repair yourself. With good books and a few tools, you can be on your way to finally getting that project done, and finding new DIY adventures.
