Pretty good basic info
This book is a great reference for potential "gotchas" when buying an older home. We used it when we inspected our 100 year old house and were not disappointed. I wish there were more diagrams and pictures but overall a very handy reference.

Happy to recover recipe
I did find some loss recipes that I used over 40 years ago. My family missed eating them and they were delighted when I sent them some of the canned food. I discovered that I will need to can more because what I sent didn't last them two weeks. I sent them all 2 pints of corn relish. Most of 42 pints I canned a month ago is gone.

There is not a lot of text or explanation of building techniques, only the plans, text with use and design considerations and plan details. I actually ...
