New Club request: Home repair/DIY
Now, granted, this has little if anything to do with firearms........ but there are often threads in GNG along the lines of 'how do I fix a so-and-so' in my house/basement/roof, etc.
I personally would find it very helpful to have a specific place where questions about 'how do I .... " regarding home repair and similar could be centered.
Not sure what I am supposed to do next, in terms of requesting people vote so the required 50 votes are acquired...... but I'll try to find out and follow up.

I'd like to sign up. I have a 20 YO house always in need of DIY TLC. 
When I made the GA Forum I kept a running list of prospective members in the OP and when I got 50 I stickied in the club and now I use it as a member list. Seems to work OK.

You have the best chances of reaching the most advisers by posting in GNG. These micro-interest clubs just fizzle out in the end.

I vote yes. I'm trying to turn a small bedroom into a large bathroom in a 60 year old house now. Not a square, plumb or level anything in the place.

Count me, even if I worry that putting it in its own place will mean less eyeball traffic. Hopefully it'll mean the opposite.

You may count my vote FOR the forum.

Yup yup, Count me in.
I was in the appliance repair business for a long time, and would be happy to serve as an "advisor".

At our place I'm the one who builds and fixes so count me in. Paw's in too if it'll keep me from asking him to help me. So put us down for two votes.
