5.0 out of 5 stars Pole construction - a wonderful alternative for great value., December 9, 1999
By James T Hacker (West coast Florida) - See all my reviews
I gave the book five stars because there was a total lack of books on the subject when I read it months ago. Thanks to Amazon, there is now more available. I am a developer of lots. I have seen what the family faces with home buying. The pole house will only be for the stout-hearted, brave and good humored. But for those few souls it will be a wonderful experience. This book takes you from day one - walking onto your lot - to the finished product. And it tells you everything in between like, how to get your friends to gleefully help you plant your poles to having an old "barn raising". It's good stuff. It's dated, but if you're an ol' fashion American pioneer like me, you'll love the challenge.

5.0 out of 5 stars READ ME! How to build a house cheaply, November 14, 2006
I thought this was a great book, I picked this up at the library and this was a wonderful read from front to back.

PROS:
1. Learn how to build at a low cost.
2. Provide shelter/housing one weekend at a time.

CONS:
N/A

I also purchased a real estate book on how to get land cheaply:

Investing Without Losing (ISBN: 0978834607 NOT on amazn, on other stores)
