| Fine Homebuilding is the Best | |
| This magazine is for those who are interested in viewing how people working in the trades do it right. People who are willing to share their wonderful knowledge, projects, and homes. Not cookie cutter homes but homes that inspire its readers to take the higher road. For those who want to be involved in doing something the correct way.
Great information on tools and projects, as well as lots of ads and reviews for products that your local hardware store won't being carrying until you ask them about it. A magazine that you will save, treasure, and find yourself looking back through for many years to come to refresh yourself anew. | |
| This magazine is best in its class! | |
| Admittedly I am a big fan of everything that Taunton press puts out, but I truly think that Fine Homebuilding is a great magazine. Reader be warned though - this magazine is written for professional builders/contractors and serious DIYers. If your building and home renovation skills are any less than the intermediate/advanced level, this will not be the magazine for you. There is not a lot of hand holding here. The authors of these articles often assume that you know more than the basics so that they may cover more high-end techniques.
Bottom line: Fine Homebuilding will give you great ideas for building fine homes, help you achieve success on complicated home projects, and keep you clued in to the cutting edge trends in homebuilding and renovation. If this all sounds like too much for you, take a look at Workbench or Family Handyman magazines. | |
| The 'Saveur' of Construction | |
| These days home improvement magazines, TV shows and books are everywhere. Most of them are terrible. The same 3 dozen tips and ideas repeated ad nauseum, always winding down with a failure to describe how to actually do anything that entails skill or risk. 'Your parents put it together' is the usual message behind anything more complicated than painting.
Not so with 'Fine Homebuilding.' Unlike most home improvement and construction-related magazines, this one is for the grownups. Professional tradespeople, homeowners and contractors alike can look here to find out how to actually build a house and do it very well. You'll find time-saving ideas as well as ways to spend a lot more time in order to do a better job than you thought you could. This is not a 'fast food' ethic. This for the true gourmands of homebuilding; the 'Saveur' of construction. |
