Extensive information and diagrams, illustrations of repairing and replacing walls. A real treat is the page on tin roofs.

Time-Life's take on how to properly use and maintain fireplaces and wood stoves, building a brick fireplace and chimney, safe cleaning and repairing. All the additions to this series have been equally clear and useful, and very helpfully illustrated.

A particularly useful entry in Time-Life's excellent series; I used this to botch the drywall job I did in the kitchen of my old house. Wasn't this book's fault, though.
