4.0 out of 5 stars fun, interesting read

He makes a few good points about things like where to place fireplaces and bedrooms in order to keep a home as warm...

This is one of many books I bought to learn more about self-sufficient living. The book has a few good points, but the language is hard to understand. The author describes in words how to build log cabins. He doesn't draw diagrams or give diminsions. He makes a few good points about things like where to place fireplaces and bedrooms in order to keep a home as warm as possible. If your looking for a book with hints on building a self-sufficient home, you could get some tips with the book. If your looking for a book on how to build the log cabin, keep looking.

If you want to know how to construction a flame proof wooden chimney, this is the book for you.

This is how they did it back in the day.
