Architecture, Domestic -- Designs and plans ImproveNet 
 This site offers many useful tools and calculators for home remodelers. There are estimators for specific jobs such as roofing or kitchen remodels or total house redesign; there are house plans and room "visualizers" and project calculators for tile, wallpaper, painting, etc. Most are free; some require Adobe Acrobat Reader or other free software. Registration (also free) allows the user to participate in newsletters and expert advice forums. It is also convenient, for comparison purposes, to have in one place the major suppliers of a particular appliance or product. http://www.improvenet.com/ Topics: Architecture, Home & Housing, Home & Housing, Housing Last updated Aug 26, 2001 New Urban Guild
