DIY Resources for Women

Tim, Scott and I now have over a month into our blog which we sincerely hope you are enjoying.  Of the 18 or so posts we’ve completed this post will make the 7th that is meant to assist women in completing do-it-yourself projects around the home.  (Authors note:  We will from time to time deviate off the DIY theme to cover women’s issues that are either timely or where providing another avenue to get the message out simply makes sense.  An example of which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming in October.)  What I have found in researching this topic is the general lack of specific resources or the many attempts of advertisers to hijack the topic to direct women to another product.  Not good.  In today’s post I will provide a simple list of resources including websites, blogs and forums that women can use to:

·         Get specific information for completing a project.
·         Get general tips to become more familiar with home repair projects.
·         Converse with other like minded DIY practitioners.

This is not meant to be an all inclusive discourse on the subject but more a simple starting point list from which you, the reader, can expand upon.
