Like them, this series of classics comes from the source of old-timey know-how. The books present immense detail and practical and complete references, particularly since most in the series (which includes fourteen titles) were intended as textbooks. The original texts were first published between 1880 and 1937, but the bulk of the information is as applicable today as it was a hundred years ago.

Even in the worst of economic conditions, some manufacturers always seem to ride out the storms better than others. A good example of that might be Magnum Products.The company, which manufactures a range of smaller equipment, much of it for the rental and light construction industry, is adding another 70,000 sq.ft. to its existing 50,000 sq.ft. facility that serves as the headquarters for manufacturing and administration. The Berlin, Wis.-based company is more than doubling its size in order to house its expanding product lines, which include: new mobile generators, light towers, water trailers and power buggies, all sold under the Magnum brand name.

If your soil is loamy or sandy, you too can drill 30 holes in a day''s worth of rental. But rocky ground or heavy clay can stymie even the most powerful auger. Judging from my experience, about 25 percent of the holes attempted with augers end up being dug by hand.If you only have a few postholes to dig, don''t bother reading this story. Just rent, borrow or buy the three hand tools shown on p. 68 and get to work. By the time you run to the rental store and round up a buddy to run the other end of the machine, you''ll have a few holes dug already and save the one-day $60-plus auger rental fee. But if you have more than five deep, 12-in. wide deck footings or a whole fence''s worth of postholes to punch, augers can make short work of an otherwise miserable job.
