Idiots guide to DIY

Mumto2

Can anyone recommend a website (or book) which has really basic guides to household jobs?

The one I'm thinking of is fixing dripping taps. Don't know where to start, but certainly would like to learn.

Thanks

Try the book ''You Can Do It'' from B & Q.

Try this one, i have got loads of info from here. The link will take you to the section with all things begining with the letter 'T' on here you will find help with leaking taps. But there's loads of help just click on the A-z contents and scroll through the alphabet and in each section thers loads of diy help.

As well as the many excellent websites that have already been mentioned, the Readers Digest do a pretty good book for covering the basics. I had one bought for me ages ago, and it's in loose-leaf ring-binder form, which is great for following the instructions when your hands are full of tools :-)
