1. Collins Complete DIY Manual
This book was our Bible for all things renovating.
It was easy to read and had in-depth knowledge on nearly every subject from design, repairs to electricity and plumbing.
2. Bunnings
Our go to place for tools, products and advice was Bunnings. They had a good selection of DIY brochures that helped us plan what we needed to do. The staff are generally pretty helpful about products but be wary about taking all advice.
They do have some good how-to videos on their website though,
3. YouTube
Youtube is full of videos for renovation novices.
Their how-to videos were really helpful for us. Some of the ones we looked at were: How to pave, How to install tap ware, How to lay floorboards.
Outstanding information thankyou. I went and bought a Stanley studfinder to put our two TVs on the wall. Luckily I did. The spot I wanted to put one of them, there weren't any studs, so you saved me some plasterboard patching and probably some inappropriate swearing. :)
