Review: Doable Projects and Instructions - I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. It does have some redundancy, but it does give you lots of ideas for projects. Being knowledgeable in a few of the projects, it gives you the correct advice without a lengthy justification for it. This book doesn't waste time telling you about all the inferior ways of doing a project, it just tells you about the best way. You can take what you want from it too, because it is doesn't necessarily make you stick to a blueprint. It teaches you what you need to know to make it happen, and it's up to you to put it together for your needs. I did enjoy the details that it does have and it really does make the projects seem very doable.
Review: Liked on Day 1 - I did not even get a chance to open this book after receiving it. Wifey was all over it the moment it came in. She enjoyed the ideas presented in the book and showed how some of the ideas were fairly easy to implement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Issue fixed
*by S***E on September 15, 2024*

Book came falling apart, and printed and stuck with glue upside down. The printed pages are also cut off. I have taken pictures to show you that it the book is defective. UPDATE The replacement book was in perfect new condition and the read was actually great giving full details and pricing on projects. If you are experienced in homestead then this book is not for you, but great for beginners and definitely worth it.
