Learn everything there is to know about your house. There's an excellent section called "How Your House Works." It explains house structure, plumbing, electricity and interiors in laymen's terms.
You'll also find featured articles each week. Be sure to read the article on when not to do a home improvement project on your own. If a project is too complex or big, you'll want to read the article on how to hire a contractor. http://www.hometips.com/index.html |  | Distinguished Member with 7,109 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK | | Cheers !  | | | Distinguished Member with 16,482 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Vancouver British Columbia | | | |  | Senior Member with 147 posts. | | Join Date: May 2003 Location: PA | | Thanks for the site......cause Im the tool man tim taylor.....

Hope you don't get in as much trouble as he does.

It is free and can be found at www.weatherbug.com. | | | Distinguished Member with 7,109 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK | | Sounds good pity not 4 UK as well ! |  | Distinguished Member with 3,453 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: San Antonio, TX, USA Experience: Format C:? Okay... | | A lot of people are leary of Weather Bug as to whether or not it contains spyware or is just a resource hog. | | | Distinguished Member with 7,109 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK | | OK !! | | | Junior Member with 25 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Dallas, Tx |

#10 | No evidence of spyware and isn't a resource hog I have run this little utility for 6-9 months and haven't noticed any evidence of it doing anything nasty like spying. But I guess if it's good spyware there would be nothing to notice??? If anyone knows of somethng bad going on, I would like to hear of it. The program doesn't require many resources at all. Periodically, when it checks the internet for resources, task manager shows it using only 1% of CPU for less than 1 second. ( I'm on DSL so your experience may be different)
It does have a static advertiment banner that occassionally has something in it, and occassionally the background of its window will be also be part of the same ad.
If the ads are objectionable, an ad-free upgrade is available for $16. It also includes international weather, historical weather, airport delays, and other goodies. But they don't hound me to buy the upgrade. It seems to me that the creator of this little program probably enjoys making the world a little nicer for folks, and if they like it well enough, they can send some money his way to say thanks. Sounds reasonable to me. |  | Distinguished Member with 6,940 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Kansas Experience: Advanced |
