Whether looking for cheap and easy ways to spice up the kitchen or the
easiest way to fix that leaky faucet or squeaky door, DIYnetwork.com
has unveiled a new Home
Improvement 101 package with hundreds of ideas and tips to help
increase home value and keep it in tip-top shape.

Featuring a plethora of how-to videos and articles, the package includes
a checklist of simple
and cheap precautions that can end up saving homeowners thousands of
dollars in the long run. For example:

--
Make sure the lawn sprinkler doesn't water the side of the house
causing wood to rot

--
Leave a window open or a fan on while showering to discourage mold and
mildew

--
Clean drains and showerheads with vinegar to prevent mineral deposits

DIYnetwork.com teaches users how to tile
a floor and do easy plumbing
chores, which basic tools
are essential, and how to complete a curb appeal project
for under $100.

In addition to warning homeowners about costly mistakes around the home
and how to avoid them, Home
Improvement 101 also offers step-by-step instructions on how to:

--
Lay
new floor tile or hardwood floors

--
Hang
picture frames the right way

--
Tackle
a budget kitchen remodel

Knowing that not all home improvements are fit for DIYers, the site also
includes a list of projects for which homeowners would be wise to hire
contractors:

--
Certain attic insulation and sealing jobs

--
Skylight and newfangled light pipe installation

--
Changing the water heater

--
Leaky duct repair
