Customer Reviews of This Old House [1-year subscription]

Eye candy
I agree that Fine Homebuilding is the much better investment. You'll gain much more knowledge from watching TOH than reading this magazine. It's chock full of ads and lightweight articles and annoyingly short on reviews and product information. Half the people get this to be part of the TOH following, but to real do it yourselfers and knowledge hounds, the Taunton stuff is much better. <

>TOH is a beautifully produced magazine but not much more than that.

This old House Subscription
We have had this magazine before and really like it. We renewed at Amazon because of the more reasonable price. The renewal has not started so unable to rate at the efficiency of the company to set up the renewal to continue the original subscription.

Making Your Living Space More Livable
This Old House is a magazine dedicated to home improvement. Based on the popular PBS television program, this magazine aims to help its readers find new and better ways to improve the home and perform routine maintenance. <

>Magazines and the internet are my primary sources when home repair reaches the critical point. This Old House is one of several magazines I like to read and it is the one I turn to most frequently when I need to find out about home maintenance. The majority of other home- related publications deal strictly with enhancements, remodeling, and general improvement. This Old House offers these types of articles, along with articles on general home repair, landscaping techniques, utility cost savings, and more. <

>My favorite departments in This Old House are "Around the House", "Toolbox", and "Salvage". The last department, Salvage, sounds boring at first but it often gets very creative. This department selects a common household item- usually one that is probably slated to get tossed in the trash- and points out a creative way to re- use the item. Some of the ideas they come up with are surprising, making this one of the first sections I turn to when I get a new issue in the mail. <

>Some parts of This Old House are not appealing at all, either because the suggestions are far too costly for someone like me; because they involve skills that I do not possess; or a combination of the two. The Luxury department is one such area. Another is the Design sections. These areas are intended for the more advanced home improver who has advanced skills at home design. There are some very expensive suggestions, too, and these parts of the magazine provide more fantasy reading than anything. However, there are still enough less expensive ideas to keep the magazine useful and practical. <

>Overall, This Old House is a good magazine that offers some home improvement ideas, some repair suggestions, and some ways to enhance your home's value. The general repair advice is pretty handy and while I don't have much use for other parts of the magazine, I can agree that these are helpful to the right type of person. It makes This Old House a good publication for those who seek advice for home repair and home enhancement. <
