Concrete Construction for the Home and the Farm
Atlas Portland Cement Company
Pour it once and it lasts a lifetime: concrete came to the farm and changed the buildings on it. The Atlas company explains what concrete is, how to choose sand, gravel, and pure water, and how to proportion a mixture that holds. A hands-on building manual for troughs, floors, and foundations. Mix and pour farm improvements that outlast wood and rust.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
