bb157-Owner Built House

Allan Mackie's newest book. Allan Mackie believes - and demonstrates in this book - that attitude is at least as important as carpentry skills. Given a will to learn and a desire to make something of one's own, the average person is more than capable of building a log house that will serve an individual, couple, or family for years to come.
Hundreds of photographs and detailed drawings take the reader step by step through the log home building process: selecting the land; purchasing and preparing the logs, and all the other steps involved.
As a unique feature of the book, the author takes us through his current log home building project on a 100 acre wilderness site. The reader experiences the entire process - from buying the land right up to moving in and spending that first winter.
