Websites like RepairClinic.com, Lifehacker and ElectronicsNMoreprovide step-by-step help in fixing everything from a broken microwave to replacing the motherboard on your computer. In fact, search for just about any basic repair on YouTube, and you'll discover a how-to video. Need to replace spark plugs in your Toyota? Which model? Which year? A 1996 Camry? Tacoma? It's all out there.
Here are three DIY repairs I did on my own. Completing these tasks successfully not only saved me money; they boosted my confidence. However, I didn't tell my husband until after the fact because he would have had a coronary.
