although not necessarily directly in line with what you are doing is YouTube DIY videos. I like to do what home repairs I can on my own, hence saving money as I can do so. Before I start a project I look it up on whatever topic I am going to do and see if there is some advice, shortcut or alike to be of assistance.
I have repaired my lawnmower this way, installed a basement ceiling, figured out how to install a new wall light switch and many other things. Sometimes I do end up spending more money on a tool that will be helpful, but those tools usually end up saving me time and making the job look much better in the end. 
The other great source of advice is the gray haired guy at the local hardware store... One can never beat experience!
