Open the Barn Door (A Chunky Book(R)) 75 reviews
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1993
Both of my kids LOVED this little book & still do!
I bought this tiny book 4 years ago at one of our local book shops. It is now tattered and torn from all the use it has gotten over the years by both of my kids! But it is still one of their favorites. It has taken a beating and we still keep reading! This is the book that I keep in my purse or diaper bag to keep my kids occupied at a restaurant, in a waiting room or at the grocery store. ...

Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl55 reviews
Stacey O'Brien
Free Press, 2008
Owls don't mess
I had an owl once. I had a cat before I had an owl but the owl changed that. I wish I still had a cat instead of still having an owl that wants to kill me and my family. Owls make horrible pets and this book is ridiculous and wrong. 5 stars.

Luv it!
If you like Good Night Moon, you will love this as well. I told my husband that when are girls are too big for bedtime stories, I will want him to read me these two books at bedtime. They are so soothing. My girls both love looking at the details of the pictures. This is a classic.

Practical Pole Building Construction: With Plans for Barns, Cabins, & Outbuildings 12 reviews
Leigh Seddon
Williamson Publishing Company, 1985
Great practical book.
This is a very complete book that doesn't leave the reader asking for details like so many others. It's written so beginners can understand it and it contains all the design criteria, load tables, joint details, and so forth that an experienced builder needs to get a building permit and construct a building. Seddon inlcudes practical "how to" answers beginning with construction of a temporary ...

Ultimate Horse Barns5 reviews
Randy Leffingwell
Voyageur Press, 2006
Spectacular Accommodations for Prize Horses
And I thought that people spent a lot of money on houses. Then again, with horses of the caliber being housed here, I suppose the cost of the Ultimate Horse Barns being shown here isn't significant after all. You could build nearly any of them for say $4 to $5 million. Needless to say these are not little sheds just to keep the horse out of the rain.
The buildings included here range from new ...

How to Build Animal Housing: 60 Plans for Coops, Hutches, Barns, Sheds, Pens, Nestboxes, Feeders, Stanchions, ...19 reviews
Carol Ekarius
Storey Publishing, LLC, 2004
A fantastic, absolutely FANTASTIC book!
I bought Carol's book about two years ago; now it's battered and ragged because it's been hauled around the farm so much, propped up on things as we use its designs to make new stuff. This is one of my all-time favorites. If you live on a small farm and you're a do-it-yourselfer, you NEED this book!

Scooters,Automatic Transmission 50 to 250cc (Hayne's Automotive Repair Manual)10 reviews
John Haynes
Haynes Manuals, Inc., 2006
Haynes Service Manual
This book is essential for the person attempting to maintain or repair their own scooter. When used in conjunction with "The Scooter Book" also by Haynes, these two books are pretty much all that one needs when maintaining and repairing their own scooter. To me not as readable as "The Scooter Book", it is still essential to own as it contains the more technical aspects of servicing your ...

John D. Wagner, Clayton DeKorne
Creative Homeowner, 2005
Exactly what I was looking for
This book provides a thorough review of the building techniques that go into constructing a variety of outbuildings, with clear illustrations and very good detail. Following presentation of the techniques, it provides plans for a number of buildings. As a homeowner with intermediate skills, I found this book extremely useful, and I'm looking forward to putting my new skills to work on my new shed.

Aready saved me money!
I bought this just to have a reference in case I wanted to look something up. I hadn't had it two weeks when I ran into a problem that the shop couldn't figure out. After reading the appropriate section I figured out what was wrong and fixed it myself!

Eric Sloane's An Age of Barns: An Illustrated Review of Classic Barn Styles and Construction6 reviews
Eric Sloane
Voyageur Press, 2001
A loving eye for detail
Sloane's books capture the romanticism of the past better than any picture books, and that is certainly true for his An Age of Barns. The beautiful line drawings range from evocative perspectives to working sections, giving you a good idea of how these barns worked. There are Shaker round barns, traditional gambrel barns, Amish barn raisings and a wide variety of outbuildings associated with ...

Toyota Pickups and 4-Runner, 1979-1995 (Haynes Manuals) 2 reviews
John Haynes
Haynes Manuals, Inc., 1998
Haynes no spec. on 4Y engines
The Haynes manual has become an essential part of my garage, lot's of stuff is explained in a no-nonsense way so even us foreigners can understand. I bought my version when working in the U.S. some years ago. The only thing wrong with it (apart from those darn U.S. measurements) is that there is no info on the 2.2 litre 4Y gasoline engine that we have in Europe. Nevertheless the manual is ...

OBD II & Electronic Engine Management Systems (Haynes)
This book is easy reading and comprehensive. It covers all of the OBD II diagnostic codes for the majority of auto builders. I've found it to be very helpful in diagnosing vehicles with the check engine light on.

BMW 3 Series (E36) Service Manual: 1992-1998 (BMW)37 reviews
Bentley Publishers, 1999
E30 M42 information found in this manual
Bentley manuals offer the best comprehensive information you need to DIY your car. This E36 manual has information on the M42 engine that was available in the E30 318i, 318ic, and 318iS in 1991. If you have an E30 with the M42, I suggest buying this manual as well as the E30 specific Bentley manual. If you plan on maintaining your M42 engine yourself then you will need this manual.
