I'm about to take my states contractor test but I thought I'd share some forums I frequent that help me in my building and investing business's. If you like to do some of your own work these sites will provide lots of useful information.

For anything involving tiling check out JohnBridge.com. The forums and liberry (you read that right) are full of step by step guides, tips and tricks from professionals who do this work for a living.

For those of you in the colder regions, check out Hearth.com to learn everything you need to know about fireplaces, wood burners, pellet burners and everything that goes with trying to heat a house efficiently.

For plumbing go to Terrylove.com.

If you want to do more work on your own properties a subscription to FineHomeBuilding magazine is a must. This also gives you access to their subscriber only content on their website which is full of good stuff.

Hope these help.

*EDIT* Just realized I may have posted this in the wrong spot. My bad :(
