Most of the articles are not in-depth enough to be the sole source of plans for executing the ideas. For instance a recent article about "DIY Solar Panels" was just a double-page-spread with most of the space consumed by a colorful diagram. But the mere fact that it alerted me to the existence of these new DIY kits, made it worthwhile. Rating - Aimed at men but has some good ideas I agree with previous review that this magazine is clearly aimed at men. The ads for sexual enhancement drugs and devices are distracting from the content. I'm not against such advertising, but I would have like to see more ads aimed at HOME IMPROVEMENT, not sexual improvement. Clearly the demographic for this magazine is aimed a men more than women, which was a serious disappointment for me. I only received two issues, but I will say the ideas were good ones (although again, aimed more at men--organizing the garage for instance). If you are looking for practical ideas for around the house (installing a solar water heating system, fixing your garage door) then this magazine is for you. If you are looking more for home improvement ideas and easy to complete weekend projects, you may want to keep looking...especially if you are a woman. Rating - Truely Practical for EVERYONE My husband and I have implemented items from P.Handyman - everything from quick-fixes to full projects with great success. The step-by-step instructions, pictures, and focus articles are always in-line with what we need! It was recommended by a friend and I have gone on to buy subscriptions our household and for my parents as well. Rating - New projects Since receiving the first issue of Family Handyman my husband has all kinds of ideas for jobs around the house. I haven't gotten a chance to see the magazine because he has been reading it. It has been an idea generator.
