    This is an excellent book for those who want to live on their own in the wilderness or for anyone wanting to “Go Green”. The cost of building a log home is low with high rewards to those that actually build one. My purpose for getting this book is to have the knowledge to build a log home once I get myself and my family out of the “lower 48″ and into the last frontier away from our ever increasing socialist government. The book is great as are many others! If for nothing else, learn how it was and is being done all around the world.

    Now in an updated and expanded new edition, Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home is a solid, in-depth guide to a venerable and neglected art. Chapters cover log preparation, needed tools, site and cost considerations, sample designs, accommodating heating systems and other utilities, the differences between manufacturer’s kit homes, maintenance of one’s log home, and much more. Black-and-white diagrams and photographs illustrate this methodical, easy-to- follow instructional. Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home is a practical-minded resource for creating a livable modern home, packed cover to cover with tips from firsthand experience.

    This update of the classic 1977 book will help you choose a site, plan your cabin, find a kit or build from scratch. Easy to read text, illustrations, plans and details of a pretty 24′ x 40′ hillside cabin can be a do-it-yourself guide or can serve as your inspiration for other cabin designs.
