got it 4 our son 4 christmas 4 his farm & he was very pleased with vane & so were we

Finding an old-fashioned weather vane that is affordable (most are in the hundreds of dollars) can be like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack. I was glad to find this one. It was easy to assemble. We mounted to a corner deck rail, using a compass to orient it. We've been very pleased. It stays outside year round and we've not had to repaint or maintain it in any way.

I had a horse weathervane that a dear friend gave me several years ago. It broke and I have missed it terribly. There are plenty available for hundreds of dollars, but nothing this size and price. This size is suitable for a modest-sized home. We have about 2000 sf under-roof, and this is small, but noticable. It adds a subtle touch of individuality to our home, and I like it a lot. My husband installed it in about 30 minutes; said it was much easier to install than the first one.

Intense, poetic, complex, intelligent and passionate are all good words to describe the eleven songs on this album. I imagine they'd also be good words to describe Nicky herself, who injects so much of herself into her songs that it's hard to separate the artist from the art. And art it is, without doubt. Nicky's lyrics are original and vibrant. And not a cliche to be heard. Her voice can be bold and strident, or like a whisper in your ear, and it carries emotion like a superconductor. Weather Vane's themes encompass loss, transformation, hope - the learning that comes from living in the world and trying to make sense of it all. Though the melodies are beautiful, it's not easy listening. It's an album you need to sit down and pay attention to. If you're not in reflective mood when you start, you soon will be. Notable tracks for me include Row Him Home, Fireflies, The Reckoning and the almost unbearably poignant Truly - one of the saddest, most beautiful songs I've ever heard. This is a great album by an artist who is only now beginning to gain recognition outside Canada (thanks to the Wailin' Jennys). And while I truly hope she continues with the Jennys for many more years, I hope that another solo album is on the agenda too.

Nicky Mehta is that singular artist who combines poignant, thoughtful lyrics, soaring melodies, and inventive guitar-work with an equally moving, confident performance. "With a pure, effortless alto voice and a poetry rare among her peers" she can "lead us into some deep waters without making us feel that we are about to drown...

"Theme" albums are always a bit worrisome because they can be contrived...trying to fit some charts together that perhaps don't fit very naturally. But this 1958 set by a Jimmy Rowles led septet of west coast studio notables is an exception. 10 charts (and 2 alternative takes) that all have something to do with the weather (The Breeze and I, Let It Snow...get the point?) arranged by Rowles and Bill Holman, dean of the west coast swing sound in the 50's. The playing is tight featuring sidemen like Mel Lewis, Holman, Herb Geller etc. The arrangements are generally good but compared to other outings by these guys (or similar groups led by Dave Pell and others) this one just doesn't swing as hard. Recommended but not Rowles best.

YOU DID NOT SEND ME THIS BOOK. THIS IS THE ONE I REALLY WANTED. I GOT A NOTICE TELLING ME IT WAS OUT OF STOCK. INSTEAD, WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ORDER THIS, YOUR CROSS-SELLING SYSTEM SOLD ME ON A TWO FOR ONE DEAL.... THE BOOK I ACTUALLY GOT WAS OKAY, GOOD FOR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE BUT NOT THE CONCEPT/DESIGN INFO I WAS LOOKING FOR.

If you are looking for plans for barn construction, this is the ultimate source book. It also includes sources for everything from stables and garages to sheds and playhouses. A helpful book before beginning a building project.

Definately designed to get you started with ideas for a small country home. The best part of the book is the references to dealers and builders.

This book was just what I was looking for to find plans for a horse barn. It's a resource tool, not a picture book. It would be useful to someone who knows what size and type of structure they want to build and don't know where to find the plans. The authors give a good synopsis of the framing options that a homeowner has when considering building, and pros and cons of each. Also, I reccommend reading the paragraphs about laying out your farmstead.

Clever idea! There are 400+ house plan catalogs on Amazon.com - just this one on barns. Pretty, Old-timey barns, fair prices for blueprints, nice directory, fun to read. A good buy!

Average Rating:

A complete guide to great backyard buildings with ninety four designs of barns, stables, garages, sheds and garden structures; plans that you can purchase directly from their designers; a directory of hard-to-find building products, guide books, kits, timber frames and prefab buildings; and good advice on site planning and construction.
