As an aside I got my Dec copy of 'This Old House' mag and even *it* was
smaller than previous editions and had/has had fewer articles that interest
me. Probably becasue I really don't care about restoring a Cape Cod on
Martha's Vineyard - like that really has a lot to do with my lifestyle, LOL!
Now if they'd get back to homeowner repairs, staining concrete or ways to
decide about replacement windows I'd probably re-up my subscription, but
right now its nothing but ads and rich people 'fixing up' expensive homes.

I have been wondering if there are more articles directed at newbies or
if, after reading the bulletin/magazine for over 30 years, I'm just bored
with most of the content now. I have noticed more and more articles that
aren't informative to anyone. Just lots of pictures and very little text.
If, in fact, they are writing more for newbies and at the same time
raising the price so high that newbies may not take the plunge and join,
that could be a deadly combination.
