This review is from: Cordwood Masonry Houses: A Practical Guide for the Owner-Builder (Paperback)

I 1st read of cordwood const in a backwoods home mag & it really piqued my interest. So I found this & other Rob Roy books on the subject. I read enough of these to answer my questions. So I'm now going to go ahead by starting small. An 8-16 shed @ my cabin in Wisc. Rob is very thorough & to the point, which I liked. For a guy like me w/limited const experience I appreciated how this was written to my level. These books will be my reference to go to. For those interested in this obscure but effective & inexpensive method of construction I highly recommend this!
