Do-It-Yourself

The internet is a great place to find do-it-yourself (DIY) instructions for a variety of home maintenance tasks. While it's important to recognize when your best plan is to call for professional help, being resourceful and tackling things on your own can also be a good approach. Here are some links I've found for DIY maintenance and repairs:

• How to remove motor oil from a concrete driveway
• How to clean vinyl siding
• How to fix a leaky faucet
• How to maintain your home's windows

And on a different note, here's an idea for cleaning up your garage: turn an old file cabinet into a garage  organizer.

You can make some maintenance and organization part of your spring cleaning and keep your home in great shape for living in, or for selling!
