Do you read This Old House? Well you should! It is a great publication for people who like do it yourself projects, resource guides, reviews of new products, secrets from the pros, before and after photos and much more!
You might be wondering what makes this magazine different from all the other trade publications out there, and I'll tell you.
The people.
How many magazines have television shows? Go ahead, think about it, I'll wait... and no, Martha doesn't count.
This Old House has been on TV since I was a kid! We know these guys (and gals) know what they're talking about! We SEE them do it on the show. They don't start a project(house) at the beginning of a half hour show and thirty minutes later wrap up the show with a completed project being photographed for a magazine! We see it week by week come to life.
We TRUST Norm, Tom and the team, we BELIEVE if we do it the way they said, it will work.
Why, you wonder, am I bringing this up? Well, when you respect and trust a group of people, you want to help them out if you can. Every issue of This Old House has a Save This Old House on the very last page. Each issue features a different house somewhere in the U.S. that is in need of a new owner. Sometimes the house is free but needs to be moved, or sometimes it's $20,000 or less but needs new wiring, plumbing, and the like. They are usually historic and have beautiful detailing that just need some TLC. These are homes that deserve to be revived and filled with loving families once again. Now, isn't that worth shining a light on?
