So, I thought I would toss this out there for discussion. There are a lot of good books on preparing one's household, but the topic here is the actual, physical preparations of a family dwelling and related structures.
One such book I found interesting, and even encyclopedic in nature, is this one:
However, being that it was published in March 1977, it is a more than a trifle dated. So, I ordered an updated text by the same author:
It should arrive shortly.
I seem to recall some other texts in our preparedness library that are on the topic, or at least touch upon it, but I would have to make a more careful review in order to flesh out a bibliography.
Any books, resources, et al., on the topic you recommend? Any you would recommend one avoid? Thanks for sharing!
(This isn't completely random or purely academic; we were gearing up for a move a couple years ago, then chaos reigned in 2020, followed by reorganizing in the present year. The woman still wants to go to the southwest, though I now have reservations, for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the destination, as it will be lining up what may be the last move/establishment of our lifetime, might as well get it right with preparations of the home.)
