FHB members only content a bit out-dated at times?
Hi.
Do any of you find that some of the member only content offered up by FHB to on-line subscribers tends to be a bit out dated?
I just opened up an article on exterior wall sheathing options and it was dated from Dec. 1996/Jan 1997. That’s 17 years ago for cryin’ out loud! Some of the products there aren’t even around any more I would imagine.
And you know it’s old when it gives manufacturer contact info WITHOUT an internet website address.
This has happened more than once.
Shouldn’t some of these articles be vetted?
Just sayin’.

My guess...
They are pulling content from prior issues in order to pad out the content. I have all but a couple issues and enjoy going back in time and reading. While there's old info there, much useful content can be gleaned from the articles. Having lived and worked through the times they were first published, I might have an easier time sifting out the pertinent information for the current times.
what might be a better idea when re-publishing the articles would be to include footnotes bringing up current applications or changes.
