Home Improvement Resources (03)
Do It Yourself Network - Home Improvement
This is a very thorough site that includes how-to information on a wide variety of home improvement topics. Instructional topics include doors, electrical systems, fences, exteriors, kitchens, lighting, plumbing and painting. Also includes simple "kits" that take you through short projects with step-by-step instructions. Theme projects are featured as well, like "home sports center" and "urban kitchen."
Old Home Enthusiasts' Online Supplement to Old House Journal
The online compliment to Old House Journal, the oldest how-to magazine dedicated to preserving historic homes. The site offers historic home plans for sale, and allows users to view its Old House Restoration Directory of more than 2,000 companies offering historic home preservation products and services. In addition to its bulletin board, the site enables owners and fans of old homes to buy, sell or swap real estate and other old-home items online. But perhaps the site's best feature is found under the "Preservation How-To" tab, which makes instantly accessible the entire set of Technical Preservation Services for Historic Buildings briefs prepared by the National Park Service to aid in recognizing and resolving common preservation and repair problems prior to beginning the work. Key links include the Restoration and Renovation Exhibition and Conference information site.

You Can Build Your Own Tabletop Water Fountain
Not only can a tabletop fountain in your home or office bring an element of
beauty to the space, but it can help to reduce stress! While you can buy one
that is ready-made, when you decide to choose the elements for your fountain
and assemble them yourself, you get the extra satisfaction of knowing that
comes with creating a thing of beauty. All you need to make a unique indoor
fountain that will reflect your personal style is a container, a water pump,
tubing, some filler (rocks. pebbles, crystals, shells, etc.), and some green
plants. You can also add figurines to give your masterpiece a unique
signature.
