Buy this book!, Jan 14 2002

This review is from: Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home (Paperback)
While no one book will make you an expert builder this book will show you that you can build your own Log Home. Roger Hard has written an easy to understand How To Guide with topics like tools needed, chain saw mills even alternative power sources. I especially liked the tree species map of the US and Canada and the insulation value chart of the different species of wood.Along with other books, videos,web sites, message boards, talking with Log Home owners and dealers this book should be apart of your strategy.

Everything you need, Nov 17 2007

This review is from: Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home (Paperback)
This is the best of the cabin building books I've read yet. This book not only shares great technical detail with quality photographs but also discusses how to plan ahead to minimize the chance of mistakes. Discusses what the banks are willing and not willing to finance, land and site selection for building, type of ground to build upon among many other topics in addition to very detailed construction methods.This may be the only book you need.

A classic how-to, April 27 2000
By Donald J. Berg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home (Paperback)
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.
