Before you make any repairs, remodeling or construction to any property, you should check with your local Building and Safety Department to make sure you're actually allowed to do the job yourself. Some building and safety departments require permits for things as small as changing out your water heater.

I would also like to point out one more thing, some of the information in these videos might or might not apply to your particular state or country. Always double check and even triple check most of the information you receive from others and the Internet.

Our goal is to provide valuable information to property owners, do-it-yourselfers and contractors about maintenance, remodeling, renovation, design and practically anything else related to your home. Some of the information in these videos will apply to other countries, but for the most part, I'm from Southern California and that's where most of my experience in the construction industry for over 30 years has came from.
