[Suggestion]What about a Home Improvement Forum!! Now With Voting

[Chipper]

Don't we need a home improvement forum on the site.
You know...
"How do I get the cat out of the dryer vent"
"I just installed a basement toilet and it wont flush"
"My A/C blows cold air"
sorta stuff.
But seriously, there are some common geographical home problem stuff that we share like foundations and wells and septic.

I think that rather than add another forum, we continue to use the O.T. forum. Just put in the 'Title' a keyword about what the question is.

I'd like to see a a new forum like that.

Things like millwork, plumbing, wainscotting, window repair etc.

Personally I think that it is a good idea to help catagorize topics along those lines. Seeing as this is a very member driven web-site, let's see how the membership weighs in on this issue. The direction this site goes is up to y'all (pendings Steve's approval, of course :-D

As much as I hate to say it thats the only reason I still visit woodnet. I would love to see a home improvement forum here.

Works for me, with all the members, there should be some good information exchange going on.

I wish I had a secret. It's still there on the floor, reminding me everyday (just like y'all) not to stand on a plastic bucket of peach paint with my good clothes on :BangHead::BangHead:

Re: [Suggestion]What about a Home Improvement Forum!!

So much of all else that goes on in the field of wood tasks is addressed here. And there is a definite wealth of knowledge that goes beyond woodworking. Not to mention the sense of community and desire to help that exists on this site. I think it would be yet another way to help others with the knowledge that many have gained along the way, without clogging up another forum. I vote for adding the forum.:icon_thum

My 2¢

In fact, I hope we can hurry on this one cause I need to fix the bathroom floor. Someone glued the vinyl floor directly to the sub floor and I need to remove it in order to install tile. I tried a torch and it softens the vinyl but there are a lot of fumes and that's a lot of scraping.
Any ideas.:roll:

We just had tile installed in a bathroom last week. The installer took up the sub-floor and put down cement board for the tile to go on. This gave the tile a better, firmer base surface and left the floor at the same finished height so it didn't have a step up at the doors.

I wouldn't mind seeing a home improvement forum.

Re: [Suggestion]What about a Home Improvement Forum!!

I would think just one forum for the entire "Home Improvement" spectrum. Just ask any Hanyman question you want, if someone has some experience with the subject they can chime in.

Re: [Suggestion]What about a Home Improvement Forum!!

Since DaveO jumped in here I will too.

How many think it could take away from the direction and focus of the group?

How far do we want to go with this? Plumbing forum, electrical forum, foundation forum, driveway forum, ceiling fan forum... it could go on and on.

Why upset the apple cart?

[mad]
I do!
[/mad] We have a ot forum how, We can ask any thing we can think of.

Have any of you ever see the Handyman club of America site, To much mess on it. :roll:And yes I am sorry to say I am a life member of that club.:eusa_doh::crybaby2:
