Not to be facetious but the last ten home DIY jobs I've done, I've gone straight to YouTube and was able to find a video within seconds. Is this magazine really more helpful than instant video?

seconded. only problem with youtube is you often get people who THINK they are DIY'ers and really are just rank amateurs with a webcam who often misapply tools and use inappropriate materials. so it's a good idea to skim 3-4 different source youtube's till you find the best consensus of handy advice on your project. sometimes one detail a pro takes for granted can make all the difference in the outcome of your project. the other benefit of a few sources is paying attention to the names of project essentials so you can later search and buy them online. i mean how else is anyone supposed to know what screen spline is

bathroom reading.
I've had a sub for a long time.... the projects they spotlight are rarely useful for me - e.g. it's not like I'm going to build a garage based off a once every-other-month magazine I get in the mail. Other tips and articles are interesting, but as others have said they tend to be repetative over time, especially their tip emails.

Huh...c'mon? It's written for a 6th grader and chocked full of nothing but bad ads and stupid tool tricks.
Totally free + fantastic
