Hi Tsikoteer,

If you love tsikot.com, you'll love pinoyhandyman.com. Like tsikot.com, Pinoyhandyman.com is friendly, helpful and informative.

Pinoys are natural do-it-yourselfers. But in most instances, do it yourself for the Pinoy has also meant learn-it-yourself as there are few resources for information useful to the Pinoy handyman.

Pinoyhandyman.com changes all that by providing a portal for Pinoys to share and get useful DIY information. There are sections that are useful for everyone, from the newbie to the expert--the homebuilder and repairer, the gardener, the furniture maker, the auto enthusiast, even boat builders and other hobbyists.

You can get do-it-yourself information three ways: illustrated articles contributed by Pinoyhandyman.com members; the gallery of member's projects; and, the lively and friendly forums. You can also share your experiences by contributing your articles, photos and participating in the forums.

Join Pinoyhandyman.com today. And find out why these are exciting times for the Pinoyhandyman.
