Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A practical guide to choosing, salvaging, refreshing and reusing materials such as wood, metal, stone and glass.” —The Chicago Tribune Anytime you’re checking out Craigslist, cleaning the basement, or patrolling the springtime garage sales, you’ll encounter opportunities to collect and reclaim usable building materials. If you exercise good judgement and know a few salvage tricks, you can take advantage of these chances to obtain free (or nearly free) project supplies and put them to work in your house. When you build with secondhand stuff, you’ll save money and reduce pressure on your local landfill. You’ll also help curb the consumption of brand-new materials that need to be manufactured from raw resources and shipped across the country or around the world. But perhaps best of all, when you use salvaged materials to build your home projects, you’ll get unique results and original outcomes that satisfy you in a way that new stuff just can’t. Building with Secondhand Stuff is about making good decisions and learning specific techniques for getting unusable material into useful condition. It covers wood, glass, metal, windows, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and much more. Practically any material can be reclaimed using the tools and techniques you’ll learn in this helpful book, and all for a fraction of the cost of buying new materials at a building center. Praise for Building with Secondhand Stuff “How can you get a new look—or a new shed, garage, outbuilding or playhouse for the kids—for cheap or for free? Start with the ideas in Building with Secondhand Stuff. If you’re looking for something old to lend a new look, then look here first.” —Georgia Times Union

Book excerpt: Have you ever been confused when people talk about "sustainable living?" Do you want to know about the real Holy Land, the one that doesn't get shown on the news? Ever wondered what living in a communal village would really be like? In September of 2011, the author went to Israel to answer all these questions for himself. Eco 7: Zionists, Green Freaks, and Hasidic Hippies is the insightful and inspiring memoir of his five months on the Hava-ve-Adam Ecological farm in central Israel.

Over time, he comes to understand the true meaning of not just permaculture but also family and community. Far from being a war-torn military state, this book shows an Israel that is alive and ever-changing, as well as a study in contrasts, through the eyes of one who was there.

Download or read book Night Day written by Rachel Ember and published by Chestnut Press, LLC. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ty's parents seem to have their act together, and his little sisters are old enough that he doesn't have to constantly worry about them anymore. He could even enroll in some college classes if he could find an overnight job that won't kill him. One where he might be able to study occasionally, or catch a nap. When he sees the advertisement for a night nanny, it sounds perfect. After all, he's got a soft spot for babies, and raised his sisters himself. If Ty is having some seriously sinful thoughts about Isabel's handsome, melancholy father—well. His thing for older men is nothing new, and he can keep himself under control for the half-hour their paths cross in the morning and evening. Jonathan is overwhelmed by his wife leaving abruptly—though, to be honest, he'd known it was over for years—by the new responsibilities he's just been handed at his law firm, and by the baby daughter he adopted three months ago, Isabel. The baby his now-vanished wife had been begging for. He was lucky to get a place for Isabel in the best infant care program in the city, but it closes at 5 p.m. Before Isabel, Jonathan had never held a baby or changed a diaper. He needs help day and night. When Ty answers his advertisement, Jonathan looks past the tattoos and piercings at the way Ty expertly soothes the baby and hires him on the spot. The only problem in the weeks that follow is how much Jonathan begins to look forward to Ty's arrival every night, and not just because he's ready to hand Isabel over and get some sleep. There's something that fascinates him about the kid who steps out of the darkness late each night with a crooked smile. After Isabel's daycare temporarily closes unexpectedly, a desperate Jonathan asks Ty if he can work more hours. Ty says he can—if he can crash in the guest room, too.
