Adobe: Build It Yourself, Revised Edition Tapa blanda – 1 Agosto 1985
Opciones de compra y productos Add-on
This book explores the depths of adobe and enables the reader to build their own home intelligently and realistically. With an emphasis on adobe construction, McHenry discusses the planning of every aspect of one's home from the financing to the foundation, the floors to the fireplaces. The prospective builder must be prepared for a long period of frustration, doubt, worry, and plain hard work, but the helpful ideas found on the pages of this book will encourage readers to build despite the challenges. McHenry describes this process as a tremendous puzzle, for which one must create and arrange all the pieces, and then live with the result.
McHenry begins with a brief history of adobe and then moves on to the planning of the home, emphasizing the influence of individual ideas. The intention of this book is to help bridge the gap between architects, builders, craftsmen, and the unskilled but determined individual who wants to build their own home. This book outlines the technical aspects of adobe construction with several pictures and figures to simplify production.
The creation of a home, from the earliest design concepts to successful completion, is one of the most rewarding experiences one can ever have. McHenry's Adobe offers a realistic and straightforward guide to "doing it yourself." His advice regarding adobe is useful for professionals and amateurs alike.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 24 de enero de 2025This book was a purchase I made to learn the building method of adobe structures. It is very detailed and informative. It is easy to understand and will give you a solid resource to refer back to when needed. Can also be used as a source for research on the subject, though other resources may be needed. Overall I enjoyed reading and learning what this book has to offer.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 10 de agosto de 20141. Don't buy two books by the author. They are the same thing maybe said a different way.
2. After reading a great amount of the latest available research on adobe and rammed earth my take away message was that it isn't worth the bother. A. Earth is not an insulator. A 12 inch thick wall puts a 12 hour phase delay on thermal transfer. A three foot wall is more phase delay. B. Any time the thermal cycles are not optimal then you need a real insulator. Think of a week of really hot or cold weather. Since a real thermal insulator is required anyway why bother with a building material that the inspectors don't like and has a hard time meeting code.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de enero de 2017I'm clearly neither young nor strong enough for such a project (and a nice one is out of my price range) but it was fun to read and fantasize.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 22 de octubre de 2011This classic book is the widely regarded as "the best adobe book ever." An experienced DIYer coould take this book and build his/her own home. Very comprehensive coverage would allow a person to take any floor plan and execute it in any of several adobe styles, from Pueble to Territorial to Modern or Post-modern. McHenry is chock full of wisdom and practical experience.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 21 de enero de 2014It seemed to cover everything and gave many illustrations of pitfalls to avoid. HEADS UP
Could have given some additional definitions, but at least I could find answers here in most cases.
