How about a home improvement forum?

Could this be implemented?

I know many people here have tips and tricks, and many people have a use for that knowledge.

Would/Could be a nice forum.

What do you all think?

I would LOVE a home improvement forum.

Then we could have Tim Allen moderate

( I know.....)

Great site for a Home Improvement forum.

Conspiracy theorists tend to have some outside-the-box thinking skills and I'd love to see some of the things we've built or even discuss the off-the-grid ways some of us live.

hmmm

I think it's a great idea, I'd be happy to share some of my projects and I always enjoy learning tips-and-tricks from others,

It's a +1 from me,

I don't know. I think he'd stick his thumb in a light socket and the site would go dead and we'd all be SOL.

This could help a lot of members here who, like myself, have need of some answers.

THIS !

I always measure a third time , you know just for luck
hahaha , how many times I've been asked by my dad to measure something, do it , then cut it and its a couple mm out !hhahahaa

I measured three times just to prevent my dad from moaning , but he was right all along , measure it , measure it again and measure again in case you forget ! hahaha

Always remember if you are cutting using a still saw, or a bench saw, to take into account the loss from length from the blade thickness if you are repeating cuts

My family are planning to build a Iron Age Round House on our land , so I can put up details of that and the methods we use to construct the frames etc

We also recently built a chicken coop , I can scan and upload the plans if anyone is interested.

Also storm ALI recently blew the roofing felt off of my garden shed, so the roof has now started to soak up all of the rain , and I will need to replace the roof, so I can put up a wee tutorial on how I do it !

I always figured eyeball was close enough. I'm just going to hack it out with a hax anyway.

No ... No... Just jerking around. Been doing stuff like this for most of my life; so far. I just have to "inject" a little humor into my day. speciall when they start off like this one has so far.

Actually, I would enjoy some sort of D I Y forum. I know there are lots of tips I could use on projects around the place.
