Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Here's a fun and enjoyable magazine for a homeowner, or anyone who needs to do small to large home projects. This is not a stuffy magazine on how to install your Italian marble whirlpool or how to remodel your 1875 New England Colonial. This is for the typical homeowner who wants ideas on new projects, and how to repair the everyday items around your house. Humor and well laid out instructions are the backbone of this magazine. (One of the best things is they admit where they made errors along the way of the project.) What I like about this magazine? ***Ask Handyman Here are questions from readers that are answered on various projects. ***Workshop Tips In this section readers offer suggestions to use in your workshop to make a project go smoother. ***Handy Hints More reader suggestions to help around the house. (It's like having that wise old handyman offer you tons of tips and ideas.) **reat Goofs Funny errors do-it-yourselfers offer on projects they attempted. What I don't like about the magazine? ***New Products Section These are the short, usually a paragraph or two, tips and suggestions that include a new product that makes a project easier. A web address or toll-free number to order the product follows the article. I often wonder if the product is really good or if the manufacturer just paid the magazine to talk it up. As you can see the number of advantages far outweighs the disadvantages so a strong rating is a must for this magazine. I hope you enjoy it!
