Reddit reviews Black & Decker The Complete Photo Guide to Home Repair: With 350 Projects and Over 2000 Photos (Black & Decker Complete Photo Guide)

Do not bother getting copies of the old keys made. Plan on rekeying or replacing the locks the day you close. Even good people sometimes lose keys or lend one to somebody they shouldn't.

This brings me to the other must have: a basic tool set and one of those big books of home repairs. You may well eventually want to get a cordless drill/screwdriver; you'll be shocked how handy one can be.

I'm a visual person, so I found this very helpful:

http://www.amazon.com/Your-House-Works-Understanding-ebook/dp/B007U91PBC/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=

But, the pictures in the Kindle version aren't very big. I had trouble on my 5" phone screen. Otherwise, its really helpful for the big picture stuff over just following step by step instructions, especially with plumbing.

Check this out too:

It's kind of cheesy, but I have been really happy with books like this and this and this and this.
