EDITORS COMMENTS
February 1966 Cover Design: A DIY Project for Frostproof Water Storage Step back in time to the 1960s with this vintage cover design from the February 1966 issue of a popular home improvement magazine. The image features a young, enthusiastic couple working together on a DIY project, showcasing the spirit of self-sufficiency and innovation that defined the era. At the heart of their project is the construction of a frostproof water storage tank. The couple is in the process of resurfacing the tank with plastic sheeting, ensuring that it can withstand the harsh winter weather and protect their water supply. The use of plastic, a relatively new and innovative material at the time, underscores the forward-thinking nature of the project. The cover design also highlights the importance of home improvement projects during the 1960s. With a focus on self-reliance and resourcefulness, DIY projects were a popular way for families to enhance their homes and make the most of their resources. The couple's determination and teamwork are evident in their focused expressions and the tools scattered around them. The interior of the magazine would have likely contained step-by-step instructions and diagrams to help readers replicate the project at home. The cover design serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the 1960s, and the enduring appeal of DIY projects for homeowners today.
