One of my favorite "how to" articles for a new, or seasoned, homeowner. I have had friends teach me some of these tips, but the internet has been such a great way to learn how to fix anything! This link leads to the article on Better Homes and Gardens page on how to take care of "easy fixes" like,
Clean grout
Tighten a countertop
Fix broken tile
Fix torn vinyl flooring
Fix a scratch on wood cabinets
How to paint a room
Updating worn out or dried caulk
Tightening plumbing of a dripping faucet
Click below for some basic instructions. GOOD LUCK!
