Read this book with the knowledge that we will be building a log cabin in the mountains. The book was very helpful with hints and ideas for the homeowner. Bringing many items forward that we never thought of! Great buy if you are going to build, or having a log cabin built,
This book covers everything. I never thought to think about what lifestyle I want to live. How isolated do I want to be? What view do I want? How removed from services do I want to be? Do I want to be in a resort community or on my own? I'm in the beginning thought stages and this book is a wealth of information.
I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift. We are considering building a log home, and this book had a lot of information. We got many ideas and things to think about from this book. I thought it was a great gift!
Was looking for a book with pictures of log cabins.
Absolutely satisfied with the content. If you are looking for answers from the bottom up I recommend this book.
