General home improvement books are your best bet, here’s three that I use when I need to do something.
1. “Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual by Reader’s Digest (This one I like the most, has wide variety of projects and easy to understand steps)
2. “Big Book of Home How-To” by Better Homes & Garden’s
3. “The Complete Photo Guide to Home Improvement” by Black & Decker
There should be many others available at your local library or bookstore.
I reco you look at more than one source to do things, books and online b/c not any one place provides the best pictures or descriptions of how to do something correctly.
Places online for advice on home repairs are:

as well and its difficult to tell which is which without wasting time
and money. Kind of like getting advice from Yahoo Answers

I'll try to make this short... One day about a month ago my girlfriend and I noticed that our living room, all of a sudden and for no apparent reason, had this weird smell. We kind of didn't do anything about it at first because, well - we can be lazy like that sometimes... When it didn't go away for a week I got frustrated and spent an entire […]
