I think it would go very well with the housekeeping one

But I might be the only one that feels this way

So any thoughts?

Aw Zippi - I think it would be great

You could combine it with the house buying stuff as well & inculde some of the craft stuff (like making curtains/soft furnishings etc?

Yes please, especially if it includes a Support Group for those going through building works at home or those living on a building site

Yes, I don't know why it didn't get done when asked for before. There are quite a few threads asking for DIY advice here and there.
