DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow to Care for Old and Historic Wood and Plaster What are the best methods for removing stains from wood finishes? How can you determine the type of finish on your molding? How can you repair the cracks in your plaster cornice? You've been told you have "alligatored paint": what is it and what can you do about it? . Answers to these questions and hundreds more are found in this detailed guide to caring for and reviving old wood and plaster walls and moldings. Carefully shaped woodwork, delicate plaster molding and colorful painted finishes give unique character to the interiors of old buildings. Walls and Molding describes the history of these key features and clearly explains how to save and repair them. Written for homeowners and others responsible for the care of buildings from 50 to 250 years old, and based on the principles of preservation expressed in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, this authoritative handbook offers practical advice for all aspects of caring for old wood and plaster walls and molding. Detailed methods are included for diagnosing, cleaning, repairing and reconstructing wood panels and molding as well as patching and replastering walls -- all stressing the three-pronged approach of the National Park Service: repair, replace and, only as a last resort, re-create. The book includes extensive charts on finishes, wood and plaster problems, and safety precautions. Combining a look at past building techniques and modern rehabilitation procedures, Walls and Molding focuses on what can be done to preserve and enjoy the special interiors in old and historic buildings. Some 300 photographs and drawings, helpful checklists, a glossary of wall treatment terms, a suggested reading list and official preservation guidelines followed nationwide provide further ideas and guidance for planning an appropriate rehabilitation in your old or historic building.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally, Grandpa's Book was written as an attempt to leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren. The stories were just to good to keep inside the family unit and the book(s) were soon passed around to friends. Shortly, strangers were calling for copies, many demanding that the book be published, so that they too might own a copy. Comments from some delighted readers "I couldn't put the book down. My wife couldn't understand why I wouldn't come to bed. She read the book and said that she absolutely understands why. She remarked that she laughed at the punch lines and eagerly anticipated the next scrape that Grandpa Ray might get into." "Grandpa Ray is a master storyteller!" "Pacing and cadence are effectively employed to make readers laugh at the punch lines." "Well-written, fun and easy-to-read, Grandp's memoir brims with love, humor and warmth. He masterfully employs the techniques of anecdotes to create an invaluable legacy for his children." "Grandpa Ray fill his personal memoir with amusing, instructive, and loving anecdotes as a legacy for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren."
