Welcome !

July 17, 2011

   This blog aims to provide information on maintenance and repair topics of interest to homeowners, with a few practical home improvement ideas thrown in.  Single-family homeowners will benefit most from this information, but others will find much of it helpful as well.

As the name suggests, this site is geared towards the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) crowd.  However, it does not provide step-by-step instruction.  Instead, it is more educational in nature, giving general guidance.  Even if you hire somebody to do maintenance, repair or home improvement work, the information provided should be very helpful. Either way, the intent is to help the homeowner save money by being informed.
