This book is good information for those who want to be free from system

This book is a must have for your library! Everything is detailed and gives awesome step by step instructions and pictures in color! Lists all materials you will need for each build.

Decent book for someone starting off. Great choice to buy or gift.

good info

Great on building stuff but no tech knowledge regarding harnessing wind, solar etc. He repeatedly says to go get some info at community center or somewhere.I bought the book specifically for solar, electrical and plumbing set ups. It's a great book for building garden boxes and sheds and coops but no info on setting up some solar panels to provide lights and energy to those sheds.I know there is formula to build gradient watering system, the correct angle and differences for size. Not in there.So if you need building plans, using new materials, for your backyard then this is the book for you.It was an easy read. He writes in a fun and easy going way.How to build a raised garden bed with a drainage hole are written in excruciating detail.

Very informative to the things you need to know unlike most books you find one maybe two things you can use. This book is good from cover to cover.

If you want a book that basically tells you and guides you setting up a little backyard homestead, then get this book. You won't be disappointed, in fact I love this book. Easy to read and follow. Thank you!

Seems to be just reused / already 'out there' projects. Just printed on glossy paper. Nothing I did not already know - all beginner stuff. But if you don't know anything to start - this is a good beginner book.

Muy instructivo

Estamos hablando de un libro con mas de 1.5K opiniones y muchas buenas. De la editoral Creative Homeowner (tendré en torno a 15 libros de la misma). Después de un tiempo en la lista de deseos me decidí a comprarlo. Mi opinión personal es que es un libro de proyectos sencillos que no está mal pero no es nada de otro mundo. Para los que saben poco de madera o apenas tienen literatura sobre trabajos en madera, no es una mala elección. Pero siendo sincero, creo que los proyectos que se describen aquí son básicos. Teniendolo sé que no necesitaba comprarlo, ahora queda en mi librería, pero apenas lo voy a consultar.

Has excellent diagrams and illustrations. I've built a raised vegetable garden and used some of the advice in this book already. Looking forward to building a tool shed in the next year.
