I found a home improvement related web site from Books that Work (at=16
http://www.btw.com/). I wonder if anyone knows of any other, possibly
with searchable databases.

This net site is pure advertising. The "Tips for Tackling Tacky
Walls" section is an ad for Georgia-Pacific panelling, mouldings, etc.
(Curious how it doesn't even mention ordinary painting -- although it
does have one paragraph (!) on decorative paint techniques.) The
"Keeping your Home and Family Safe and Secure" section is an ad for
Master Lock Company (curious how it doesn't discuss neighborhood watch
programs, burglar alarms, motion-detector lights, etc.). The "Tool
choices for do-it-yourself success" is an ad for the American Tool
Companies.

All of this is very soft-sell, infomercial-style, but not very
informative and certainly not well balanced. Not worth visiting.
