It seems more and more men are forgetting all the things our ancestors knew, simple things like building a home, doing plumbing, putting on a roof, making a garden, building a fence or installing a pool. But why do you suppose this is? Well, it’s because they don’t have too, once they make enough money to have a home, they just buy one, leaving all the work to someone else. This is good and bad. Good for the home builder companies, but unfortunate that America is losing these skill sets.
Of course, it really doesn’t have to be that way. You can learn how to do all these things, even if you’ve never been involved in doing it yourself. How so you ask? Well, why not by a book that has everything you need to know in it, with step-by-step instructions that even a sixth grader can comprehend. Let me recommend just such a book to you:
“The Practical Handyman’s Encyclopedia – Everything You Need to Know for Home Maintenance, Home Improvement and Up keeping Your House” by Larry Eisinger (1963).
The editor of this book Larry Eisinger has put together a fabulous collection of how to articles, with complete instructions, all of which are fully illustrated. Want to build a garden on a part of your property that is on an incline? No problem, build a terrace system, steps, fill it in with the right soil, even drip irrigation. How about new solar panels so that you can harvest the Sun’s energy and be a green energy consumer, again, no problem, it is easier than you think.
In fact, just about anything you wish to do from building shelves for the garage or facilities for your dog (a dog house) they are all in this book. Everything you need from tools to hardware all included. You need to buy this book and you’ll save thousands of dollars doing it yourself too. Think on this.
