Product Description

Whether building a summer cottage in the woods or homesteading off the grid, this book gives readers a logical and sensible approach to building permanent shelter in out-of-the-way places. Including everything from choosing and clearing a site and creating an electrical power source, to clearing the land and creating a foundation, this book offers instruction on building an A-frame cabin or a rustic log cabin with a framed roof. Also included is a special section on designing small buildings to cope with Mother Nature, inlcuding earthquakes, heavy snow, high wind, and flooding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks to be quite useful, May 18 2012

This review is from: Cabins & Cottages: The Basics of Building a Getaway Retreat for Hunting, Camping, and Rustic Living (Paperback)
I'm thinking about a small backyard study and sauna. This book covers the basics constructing such a simple cabin, and quite a bit beyond that. There seems to be a bit of a focus on concrete pillar foundations which seems reasonable enough for small cabins. For a so-so DIY person, this book looks quite well situated, probably too simple for anyone who has built a building in the past I'm guessing. I'd be a touch careful with the book, as it seems likely that the construction techniques may not meet code in all places. It matches the rural cabin approach for sure!
