dkillianjr

Same here plus they have a few good free ones--Coastal Contractor, Replacement contrator and a tool one.

BreyerConstruct

JLC, as above.
Doug, I'm guessing it's "Tools of the Trade"

I'll add Remodeling (The Best, IMHO), Qualified Remodeler,& Builder.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and none of them will do you any good, unless you read, comprehend, & implement the info!

Anybody get Walls & Celings?

It's a drywaller magazine and free. They should call it "The contractors business journal" or something along those lines. Some of the best business articles for contracting I have read have been published in that magazine.

I just bought the Fine HomeBuilding magazine I really like it, i think i'll subscribe.

DesPro

Great magazine. Excellent articles along with detailed illustrations and techniques. I save all my past issues for reference.

I also give a gift subscription to new employees. It helps to reinforce the importance of " above average" workmanship in the field. I also get to see them implement techniques related to the job and understand the level of quality workmanship that is expected.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

So is American Painting Contractor if you qualify on their website (you probably need to be a painter, or do lots of contractor stuff)

I get Walls & Ceilings, Construction Deminsion, This Old House, Old House Journal, Fine Home Builders,Profiles,Jobsite,so we have allot to read in the can. I even had to build a book shelf.

Someone bought me a subscription to Fine Woodworking, but I don't read it too much. When I get the inkling to read something about a trade, I just go to the Taunton Press site and order a book or two through Amazon. I just bought Renovation 3, hardcover. It's kind of one volume remodeller's encyclopedia. I have their book on hanging doors as well. It gives me a headache.

Toothpick

Paid subscrption to JLC, great magazine for the hands on type contractor. Also get an automatic subscription to "Builder" magazine as a member of the HBA. Wouldn't pay for that one though, geared more to the larger and production types.
