Check Out the Home Improvement Reference Center for All Your Home Repairs!


I will be discussing the Home Improvement Reference Center database. This covers do-it-yourself home repair, maintenance, remodeling projects and step by step instructions for thousands of projects in the areas of plumbing, outdoor, woodworking, electrical and decorating. You can do a basic search or more advanced search. There is also an A-Z Topics section. The articles are well researched and very easy to understand and contain pictures and diagrams. Each section covers subcategories. Decorating has everything from decks to pools and spas. The electrical section has topics like light fixtures and basics of wiring. Maintenance covers vacation homes and plumbing. Outdoor has garages and decks. Plumbing has outdoor plumbing and repairs and maintenance. Remodeling covers everything from green design to home theaters. Woodworking covers such topics as home carpentry and storage projects. There is also the Project Spotlight section that highlights a specific home improvement. You can create an account and save sections to folders. You can also choose many languages in which to read the articles. The introductory screen is very clean and straightforward. For someone owning a house or who frequents Lowes, this is the perfect database.
