Home Fix-It 101 by Al Carrell,Kelly Carrell Pdf

How many times have you paid hundreds of dollars to fix the kitchen sink? Or waited hours for the plumber that never shows when he says he will? It's no surprise many homeowners have wasted time and money on even the most basic home repair needs. Finding the right tool, knowing how to use it, and understanding the root of the problem are daunting tasks. Home Fix-It 101 will put an end to outrageous repair bills and your frustration. Known throughout the United States as the Super Handyman, Al Carrell teams up with his daughter, Super HandyMom Kelly Carrell, to take the mystery out of home repair. The Carrells trade the dry and dense formats of most home repair guides for a friendly, accessible approach, leading readers from the easiest jobs of a fledging handyman to the most difficult home repair jobs reserved only for a fix-it-up expert. "Teachers Tips" combine with "Homework" assignments and "Pop Quizzes" to assist the reader in her broad home repair education. Readers will learn how to fix leaking faucets, unclog drains, patch holes and cracks in wallboard, install and maintain flooring, replace a window, fix major appliances, eliminate mildew, build a deck, save energy, prevent foundation failure, install new gutters, and hundreds of other jobs for which a professional would charge thousands of dollars. Whether they have tinkered with the toilet before or have never even touched a screwdriver, this book will guide every reader in making repairs to their house and maintaining them for years.

Food in Jars by Marisa McClellan Pdf

Popular food blogger Marisa McClellan takes you through all manner of food in jars, storing away the tastes of all seasons for later. Basics like jams and jellies are accompanied by pickles, chutneys, conserves, whole fruit, tomato sauces, salsas, marmalades, nut butters, seasonings, and more. Small batches make them easy projects for a canning novice to tackle, and the flavors of vanilla bean, sage, and pepper will keep more experienced jammers coming back for more. Sample some Apricot Jam and Rhubarb Syrup in the spring, and then try your hand at Blueberry Butter and Peach Salsa in the summer; Dilly Beans and Spicy Pickled Cauliflower ring in the fall, while Three-Citrus Marmalade and Cranberry Ketchup are the harbingers of winter. Stories of wild blackberry jam and California Meyer lemon marmalade from McClellan’s childhood make for a read as pleasurable as it is delicious; her home-canned food—learned from generations of the original “foodies”—feeds the soul as well as the body in more than 100 recipes.
