Hi,
You can head to the "Members" page to find a basic overview of everything we offer with your subscription (https://www.finehomebuilding.com/members), but once you're familiar with the site, it's probably easier to go to the specific sections I've listed below to find what you need.
Here are the core features of the membership:
1. Every magazine article we've ever published online is available to members.
The easiest way to find magazine articles by topic is to search the "Magazine index":
https://www.finehomebuilding.com/magazine-index
Alternately, you can browse all of our issues and see digital versions of each issue on the "Magazine" page:
https://www.finehomebuilding.com/magazine
2. Watch hundreds of member-only videos. There are several ways to find videos...
You can use our search engine and sort by "videos":
https://www.finehomebuilding.com/?s=&es%5Bsection%5D%5Band%5D%5B0%5D=video
You can go directly to our "Videos" page to see the most recent videos and podcast we've published:
https://www.finehomebuilding.com/videos
Go the the "Video series" section to browse video collections on specific topics and projects:
https://www.finehomebuilding.com/videoseries
3. Read the magazine and several eBooks in the online archives.
This digital library includes all issues of Fine Homebuilding magazine plus several of our most popular construction books (3 of the Code Check books plus the Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling) https://archives.finehomebuilding.com/
Click the "Library" button in the top left corner of the archive to see the index. Most of these articles are also available on the website, so search the magazine index I mentioned above if you prefer the web interface over the archive experience.
4. Builders Virtual Library
Near the bottom of the member page there are digital versions of several of our "For Pros, By Pros" books on carpentry, framing, tiling, and energy efficiency: https://www.finehomebuilding.com/members
5. All of our print issues for the year
You will receive in the mail our 6 regular issues plus a special issue that includes our annual HOUSES design awards and another special issue about Kitchens & Bathrooms.
I hope this answers your questions, but please reply if you have more.
Happy building!
Rob
