Outdoor Projects 1-2-3

My husband is a carpenter and very good with working on things in the home. He needed a little guidance for outdoor projects that he never had done before. This book was even great for me who has no knowledge or training in building or landscaping. The two of us redid our entire back yard and it looks wonderful....we added a deck, patio, retaining wall, and lots of plants. Now we are looking forward to working on the front yard next Spring. This book will definitely get more use.

A user-friendly search manual of OutDoor/Indoor do-it-yourself projects. This book is a quick read with adaquate illustrations depicting vital home upkeep/improvement projects in simple lay terms. Sport reading for the seasoned professional, critical for would-be's.

It's springtime and time to fix-up the house. One of my projects is to repair some brick and mortar that joins my flower beds with my driveway. I'm clueless on how to work with this stuff but I'm at the Home Depot looking for supplies and information which is where I find this book. It's set up in twelve sections: Fences and Gates, Landscaping Walls, Decks, Patios, Sheds, Walks and Steps, Trellises and Arbors, Garden Beds and Edging, Furniture, Electrical, Plumbing and Drainage, and Concrete. It's complete with a skill scale (so you can figure out if you even want to try to tackle this project), safety alerts, estimated time (based on experience), tells you all the tools required and all the stuff you'll need. It's absolutely complete and extremely well laid out with pictures galore. A "must have" book for the weekend warrior.
