Best Tool For DIY Project

The best tool for a DIY project isn't something you find in an aisle in Home Depot.  It's...YouTube! 

I come from a long line of contractors, so although it's not my job I am pretty comfortable with most DIY projects.  I was thinking about tackling something that I hadn't done before (tankless water heater) and went on YouTube and found a goldmine of how to videos.

If you've never sweated copper pipe, put in crown molding or rewired something and want to learn how, I highly recommend going on there. There's some great info on there for people wanting to learn how to do some projects.  I think it's also great even if you don't want to do it, because if you know what's involved in a repair (and what the building code requires) you can better supervise your workers if you hire out the repairs.
