OT - Need newsgroup
 

I'm looking for a newsgroup that discusses home improvement issues.
Sorry for the cross-post here, I thought that a garden site was
somewhat related to home and home improvement, so maybe somebody would
know.

Specifically, I want some feedback on doing some improvements to a
bathroom (beadboard, tile, etc.)

Any guidance to a more appropriate group?

Thanks.

Try misc.consumers.house

with LOTS of home improvement info)

Another excellent group is alt.home.repair. With the exception of
the usual few nut cases, most of the posters are sober, steady,
experienced professionals. I've had good help there.

Watch out for Ajay the terrible, try to ignore him if you can

Roger that; there are several well-known nutcases on that NG
to be avoided.

On a personal note: One of the nutcases has been posting forged
messages using my name and email. I am keeping a record of the
forgeries for legal purposes.

So if you see something really weird, it's not from me.

Okay, whoever suggested alt.home.repair and misc.consumers.house, I just
want you to know that I blame both of you for me getting HOOKED on them! I
thought I'd check them out, since they came so highly recommended and now I
am reading them avidly! :-)
