This review is from: Cabins and Cottages (Home Repair and Improvement (Updated Series)) (Hardcover)

The book is an excellent primer and provides sufficient guidance for even a novice though a basic knowledge of hand tools is necessary. The instructions are clear and though the illustrations are hardly artistic they are a good visual companion. If you are in a remote or secluded area and away from the utility infrastructure, and building codes, this is one of the best books to start doing it yourself with a rustic flaire.
