Hi, I’m Jack, a homeowner in Indiana.
After years of tackling everyday home maintenance and repairs around my own house, I started Taking Care of My Home 101 for one simple reason — when I bought my first home, I had no idea what I was doing.
Nobody hands you a manual when you get the keys. Suddenly you’re responsible for plumbing, electrical, lawn care, appliances, and a hundred other things nobody taught you.
This site is my way of being that helpful neighbor who walks you through it step by step — in plain English, without making you feel dumb for asking.
Whether you just closed on your first home or you’ve been there a few years and still feel lost, you’re in the right place.
— Jack
