The internet is full of information on home repair. Before the days of online research, we often scoured hardware stores and lumberyards for information or sought advice from the local handyman. Now there are countless helpful websites, repair discussion boards, and trade magazines to turn to for advice. Choosing which resource is best for you depends on your particular needs, but one thing that all these resources have in common is that they’re abundant. It can be hard to know what’s reliable, accurate and useful.
