About the Author
Dave Toht, a former contractor with decades of hands-on experience, fondly remembers his first house located in the sometimes frigid, sometimes frying Midwest. Built in 1854, it was loaded with opportunities for caulking, glazing, weatherstripping and insulating.
Dave has more than 60 how-to books to this credit, including the best-selling Backyard Homesteading. He considers harvesting a sun-warmed tomato from his own garden one of life's sweetest pleasures. He and his wife, Rebecca, live in Minnesota with their coop full of Buff Orpingtons.
