CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

log cabins are cool -
This book is a winner if you're contemplating building or even renovating a log home. The author is a builder of great experience and gives alot of information and advise I have not seen elsewhere. The checklists in back are handy too. Highly recommended.

Great first book to buy on log home building! -
This is a great first book to buy if you are considering a log home. The author goes into the right amount of detail on everything you'd need to know about building one. It is a perfect overview of what you'd be getting yourself into and covers everything from finding the lot to being your own general contractor.

Information regarding building a cabin or house. -
This book had all the information regarding building, purchasing land, forming the foundation, getting contractors, - everything necesary to start a home from nothing. While containing all the information I needed, it informed me I am not willing to go through this much work to get my own house. I would rather purchase a pre-built home.

The Best! -
I GOT THIS BOOK FOR MY SON, FROM THE LIBRARY, AND HE LIKED IT SO MUCH THAT HE WANTED TO 'HIGHLITE' SO MANY THINGS. I ORDERED IT FOR HIM AS HE IS INTERESTED IN BUILDING A LOG HOUSE, BUT THEN HE FOUND A 6 YR. OLD LOG HOUSE, BUT THIS BOOK HAD ADVISED HIM AS TO THE BEST TYPE OF TIMBERS, AND MANY OTHER THINGS. HE WAS ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE OWNER THAT HE WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT WITHOUT THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK.

Not very good or inspiring -
This book is not for anyone who wants to build there own log home. It is clearly written from someone who wants to continually sell log home kits. There is a wonderful book called Home from the Woods that is much better and describes the details of building a log home from an everyday persons perspective.
