Fine Homebuilding has stooped to its lowest level ever. Upon receiving this month’s issue, I immediately tore off the protective wrapper, only to find that the protective wrapper was the magazines cover. Needless to say, I now have a magazine with no cover. It’s hard to imagine they have stooped so low; even cheep thrills x-rated magazines have more of a cover than this one does. Must be that even Fine Homebuilding was embarrassed by the cover; they couldn’t even number this issue.
Eventually I brought myself to read what was left of the magazine, only to find that Fine Homebuilding now encourages the use of unskilled minimum wage work forces. In so doing, they diminish the value of residential craftsmen that have in general been paid significantly less than their counterparts in commercial and industrial positions. Although I appreciate recycling and reducing waste of materials, the magazines apparent support of this at the expense of a highly skilled workforce doesn’t sit well with me.
Compared to other magazines on the market today, Fine Homebuilding is far from the least expensive. I paid the price because I felt I was getting my monies worth. I certainly did not get my $4.50 worth with this issue. I suspect they must have hired some minimum wage writers, editors, and printers.
