		<description><![CDATA[There is something very alluring about building your own home out of stone. Perhaps it has to do with the longevity of a stone house, or the sense of security provided by thick stone walls, or maybe it's just the rugged, natural look of well-done stone masonry. Whatever the reason, this ancient art-form and skill has been largely lost over a few generations of "fake" stone builders who use veneers glued onto wood and metal mesh instead of full-sized stone. But I found two do-it-yourselfers named Tom who are keeping the craft alive in their own modern way using slipforms.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bought my first set of mason jars made by Ball and a regular canning pot (not a pressure canner) so I can try my hand at this skill that has been largely forgotten over the course of two generations... Or so I thought, until I started checking out the Best Sellers List on Amazon.com and noticed that the Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner and the Back To Basics Home Canning Kit were both on the list of top-selling products on Amazon.com this month.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a scale of 1-5 we'd give this book a 4.5. Some of the information is a bit too technical for some people, while other parts of the book are a bit too entry-level for others. The Solar Living Sourcebook seeks to strike a balance and provide a general overview of sustainable living concepts while not glossing over every topic. We think they have managed to do this quite well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This solar power system is about 3kWH in size, but it's all we need for our small 1940's bungalow in sunny Colorado. The inverter is a Xantrex and we had it mounted on the North side of the garage where it would stay shaded almost 100% of the time.]]></description>
