Have you thought about organizing your site a little different? Having a tool bar on top? Looks like you have a lot of good info.:)

:D I would have loved shameless plugs for research but not many really chimed in. :D

Thanks Shawner - I actually like that one too! It's on my list. The second one you mentioned I've looked at but never stuck around. Is it worth poking around? The mods will have to let me know if it's okay to link but here's my guide...

It was just a basic guide of some the great DIY resources (forums, Q/A sites, blogs, "how to" videos, etc... All related to DIY in the home (inside and out). I was hoping to get feedback from others since it's slanted towards me and my cul-de-sac neighbors (who all are major DIYers)

That's because it's on another site. :) Not here. I put in a link in my guide back to this site. I can IM you the url to the blog where it's located if you're interested. It's not up yet.

Thanks Cindy- I did use this forum as one of my favorite resources. I like how friendly everyone is. Now my post is just waiting "approval" to get posted. Next writing project: I am creating one on best apps for DIYers (I'm an app junkie);)

Thanks for responding Old Dog/New Trick. I went and checked out the "sister" sites you linked me to. If anyone else has something to add of their favorite places, I would still love to hear so I could check it out.

I don't know the best place for this question but here it is: I am in the process of writing and creating a blog post for the best DIY resources online for DIYers for a writing job. Lots of the "best" sites are my favorite resources and IRL DIYer friend's favorite. Besides this site (which I...

Vinegar is cheap and helps neutralize smells.

We need to do ours too, they are UGLY!!!!!! We were wondering can you buy molding to put on cabinets? Something made especially for that, or just something to pick from in the wood section? We are still trying to decide stain or paint. I really need some answers. You might want to start a...

Welcome Bob. I checked out your blog (nice :)) I am a blog reader junkie. Looking forward to learning from you.

Thanks for your thoughts. The building regulations is good to know. I was just talking to them about it. They ended up ripping out the orange tile and are going to take some more time to figure out the chimney (They are bringing a chimney guy in too. Maybe it already happened). I was...

I didn't realize it might be that easy to take out. That would be great if that's the case. I learned a lot over the weekend reading up & hearing back from others. My friends are bringing someone in to clean out the chimney & see how it looks before they make any big decisions. I gave them some...

It is a wood burning but I didn't think it was an insert. I will have to check when I go back tomorrow. It is ugly and strange looking. The two steps of tile is horrible too. Do you really think the bookshelves are bad if there is stone between them and the fireplace? I added another...

This past week I have been helping a friend get her house ready before she moves in (2 1/2 weeks). We've torn up flooring, painting, ripped out cabinets- but the one thing she's uncertain about is the fireplace. I am in charge of helping her figure out what to do with the fireplace. I...

I am preparing for two summer projects. One is our fireplace and the other one is bigger - working on our unfinished basement. I am researching/planning what do with our basement and wondering if I should plan it all out or just do it in steps. (We need another bathroom which led us to thinking...

I know more than I want to about mold after our neighbor had a mold problem (she has been venting to me). I wouldn't deal with it unless you know what kind of mold it is. Some molds are more dangerous than others. My neighbor, luckily had a less dangerous form but they took special lights and...

I agree that you need to make sure of the cause. Our neighbors just went through this! Turns out they had a small crack in the foundation & when they ripped up the carpet they found tons of mold. They brought in the pros to test the mold. Anyway, big mess. My husband has been helping them...

I don't think it would be good for the wood. The dryness from the heat could cause cracking in the wood. You could try laminate wood flooring.

I live here in freak'n cold Wisconsin (yes I am a wimp) and know quite a few people who have a floor warming system. Everyone loves it. Especially during the winter months. Wish we had it. I don't know anyone who has installed it themselves which is strange since so many of our friends are...
