Small House Building Newsletter no. 6
May 10, 2009
Greetings All,

I had to pass along to you all a couple interesting items:

First, I had the opportunity to write an article for the new Small Living Journal, Issue #4, on DIY Home Repairs. Here's a brief excerpt:

"The abundance of do-it-yourself books on home building and home repair on the market is an indication that the subject of DIY is of great interest to people. And why not? Being able to fix or build things associated with your home not only saves money, but gives you a great sense of pride and accomplishment. ..."


In the most recent newsletter from Tim Carter (which, overall is a wealth of information) he mentions a new cartoon he was able to have done by the creator of Hoops & YoYo. It is absolutely hilarious, mostly because there's so much truth in it. Have a look:

The Project Pledge


Thanks for keeping tuned in while I finish up my upcoming eBook, Build Your Own House- a Guide for Absolute Beginners. The more I work on it the more ideas come to mind of what I'd like to add! Hopefully this won't go on forever-- I have to get it published sooner or later!




peace and prosperity,
Anne Lupton
p.s. think Spring!!!!!
