Amazing site for home owners, home buyers, and DIY crowd.
Edited on Fri Jan-14-11 10:18 PM by snagglepuss
It is an "online encyclopedia of building & environmental inspection, testing, diagnosis, repair, & problem prevention advice - illustrated, detailed, in-depth research on finding, diagnosing, testing, correcting, & preventing building defects, energy conservation, & indoor environmental hazards.

No Conflicts of Interest: no financial relationship with products or services discussed."


Indepth and clear explanations is right. I was looking for info about stair construction and this was so helpful, it not only details American and Canadian building regulations but also clearly explains regulations about stair construction and why they are soooo important.

The range of topics is mind boggling and the site is well worth a visit.

2. The odd thing about online searches is that one can spend an
inordinate amount of time searching yet not come across certain sites. I've done a lot of different DYI searches but have only come across this today.

4. Thanks! I have bookmarked the site...
Brought back memories, though. Some years back my mom introduced me to one of her friends: "This is my daughter, she knows how to install toilets."

Still cracks me up, even after all these years. Bless you, Mom...I miss you.

Great site.
