5.0 out of 5 stars
Good beginner book
If you are going to build you own adobe home, this is a great book for the first time adobe builder. Had details on all aspects of the house. From electrical to pouring bricks to septic. Details as in the formula for a perk test, and footing sizes for load weights. I have a lot of adobe books, this is second "good" one I have seen. Very good.

Another cover it all manual for a do-it-yourselfer
This book tries to cover every aspect of building a house instead of focusing on the details that are particular to building with adobe. I would have prefered the author refer me to other books and reference material for surveying, electrical, plumbing, etc. It is impossible for anyone to do a thorough coverage of all aspects of building so why try.
