The Complete Guide to Building with Rocks and Stone: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply

While most homeowners equate springtime as the time for major cleaning and renovation projects, it may be more economical to begin new remodeling projects during the winter. Some products, like granite countertops, have experienced major price cuts during the recession and can greatly improve the resale value of a home. While you’re cozied up watching the snow falling outside, imagine how nice your fireplace would look with a new stone façade — and think of the increase in value your home would experience in return. Plan on entertaining a lot in the spring? Consider adding a stone patio or barbeque pit in your backyard.

How can you do some of these renovations yourself to improve the quality and value of your home without bursting your renovation budget? With The Complete Guide to Building With Rocks and Stone: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply, author Brenda Flynn explains how to accomplish these tasks and more to enhance your home. Flynn begins by explaining how readers can easily — and inexpensively — find stone for their projects by gathering fieldstone or purchasing manufactured stones. You will learn the proper way to lift and transport the stones back to your home, as well as what safety and building equipment you will need to execute any of the dozens of projects this book covers.

If it’s still too cold to perform any outdoor home improvement projects, consider building a stone fireplace indoors to improve the function and beauty in any room. If you are planning on adding new plants and landscaping to your garden in the spring, why not carve some basic stone planters you can fill with your favorite spring blossoms? This book also contains steps for more complex and intricate undertakings such as stone entryways, mailboxes, rock gardens, bridges and dams, patios and outdoor barbeque pits, and even how to build both mortared and freestanding stone walls. So if you want to begin some home redecorating projects to get a jump start on the spring renovation season, The Complete Guide to Building with Rocks and Stone has all you need to know to allow you to enhance your home with the timeless beauty of stone.
