You sir, have two of the greatest assets in human history, cheap books on Amazon, and the second is YouTube.

Almost anything you have ever wanted to repair is detailed on YouTube. If you watch ten or twenty videos on a topic, it will give you a pretty good idea on how to tackle it yourself. It's an amazing resource.

Plus, if you hire any repairman who comes to your house, you'll learn a lot just by watching. Don't talk to him any more than you have to or you might annoy him, just ask a very few well thought out questions and you'll be amazed at the knowledge they'll share.
