The original articles in our library combine the writing of Tina Gleisner, founder of the Assn of Women Home Owners and members of 4 Walls 1 Roof, a cooperative marketing group that Tina began in 2007. Tina’s articles were initially written in response to customers of her handyman business. The scope of the association is much broader than a handyman’s focus on home maintenance and repairs, so please help identify those articles most important to you.

As the new website evolved, a focus on home owner lifestyles became more important. We wrote introductions for each of the home owner lifestyles, and identified supporting articles. We need everyone’s help creating the first lifestyle articles, and hope if you scan the list you’ll find one that appeals to you. You might be dealing with a problem and find writing an article can help you sort through your options. Shortly after writing the lifestyle pages, I realized I had joined the sandwich generation and wrote the Sandwich Generation Comes to My House.

Note: You’ll find short abstracts for each suggested article on the lifestyle page (links below). For guidelines on contributing an article to our library, read our guidelines.
