Two popular websites are DoItYourself.com and DIYnetwork.com, but there are many others that can be easily found online via your favourite search engine. A word of caution: always refer to a new product’s manual, or the manufactor’s and/or retailer’s website before you begin.
They are more likely to provide item-specific instructions, and make you aware of any warranty limitations that may be casued by using third party instructions.
