Title: How to build anything on a farm or ranch
Review: This book is a collection of plans from state agricultural extension services across the U.S.. Plans are presented for fences, cabins, barns, animal feeding stations, milking stations, shearing stations, green houses, cold frames, sheds, outhouses, cisterns, smokehouses, picnic tables and saw horses. Plus a whole lot more.The only word of caution is that quite a few of the large structures are geared to the state of origin. For example, the guest house is designed for Florida. The roof as presented will never withstand snow loads in Vermont. Likewise foundation depths; designs from Maryland will need to be extended below the frostline in colder climes. Otherwise, an incredible amount of good, useable information is presented along with several novel design approaches such as the reinforced concrete fence or the pasture drag made from old car tires.This is one of my most prized and most used books. Highly recommended.
