Welcome to HouseNet

welcome

Week of February 2, 1998

Glad to have you here at HouseNet.

Well, we've done it. We've finished Home Improvement for Dummies™. Our editor Shannon Ross has technical editor Roy Barnhart going over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure every drawing (there's over 300 of them!) is accurate and all the directions are as clear as they can be. It's due out this Spring, so the timing has been a nail-biter. Alas, it's off our desks and into very capable hands.

Here at HouseNet, we're happy to welcome Sampler Publications and their line of decorating and crafts magazines including Decorating Ideas. We know you like reading about and trying new home projects so you're going to love their wonderful decorating ideas. If you're thinking of sprucing up a bedroom, take a look at "Quick and Easy Upholstered Headboards" and see how a colorful new headboard will transform the room.

For some reminders about maintenance this month check out February Maintenance Advisor.

Buying and selling houses is on our minds because Jenn and her husband just sold their house so they're looking for another one. Basu and his wife just bought their first house. Oh, what an exciting feeling. Congratulations!

It's the time of year to think about being in love, what with Valentine's Day just around the corner. We have some ideas about being "In Love with your Home and Garden" that we hope you'll like.

That's it for now. Have a good week.

Katie and Gene
