"How to build..." without building, Jan 7 2009

This book is great if all you are looking for is floor layouts and the cosmetic appeal of your cabin. This book does not go through any building techniques (in fact at the very beginning the author states this is not a construction book) but it does discus what kinds of materials to consider while on your new property, also is discusses briefly what kind of land to look for and how to situate your cabin. For a book that is based entirely on hunting and vacation cabin designs it is actually very interesting, the author seems well minded and keeps the points and descriptions brief but educating. Highly recommended if you have no idea what you want your cabin to look like inside and out.
