"According to Roy, underground or earth-sheltered' houses are unexpectedly livable. Judging by his book's attractive pictures, that's easy to believe. The house he bases his point-by-point guide on is indeed a showplace. Its homey touches are just that, though, and Roy's main concern is creating such a house, from drawing up the plans to surveying the site to the actual building. Roy's instruction is insightful and comprehensive....Throughout, he covers construction and installation details that are extremely important for nonprofessionals brave enough to undertake building their own homes."--Booklist. 148 pages, 40 color illus., 130 b/w illus., 8 x 10

From Booklist

According to Roy, underground or "earth-sheltered" houses are unexpectedly livable. Judging by his book's attractive pictures, that's easy to believe. The house he bases his point-by-point guide on is indeed a showplace. Its homey touches are just that, though, and Roy's main concern is creating such a house, from drawing up the plans to surveying the site to the actual building. Roy's instruction is insightful and comprehensive; for example, he writes that he has poured the four-inch cement floor over the waste plumbing in all the houses he has built and has had no trouble yet, but he also suggests another strategy for those leery of not being able to get at the pipes in an emergency. Throughout, he covers construction and installation details that are extremely important for nonprofessionals brave enough to undertake building their own homes. Mike Tribby

    This book came to me in perfect condition and ready for me to read. The content of the book is not only interesting but an easy read. I really felt like the author was talking to me and trying to make me understand the concepts of building an underground house, which I really liked since it feels personable. Even if you don't want to read it cover to cover, it is quite a good reference book to go to when getting more serious about your building plans. This book not only provides informative insight but also gives pictures and models of the plans the author writes about. All in all, I am excited to have this book in my mini library to simply take off the shelf to study on my leisure. Two thumbs up!

    Very well written, easy to read and loaded with plenty of information. Professionally written but with a personal point of view.

    Beautiful pictures and certainly sweat equity. What vision and energy they have and they certainly infuse it into the reader.
  • Calificado en Estados Unidos el 16 de enero de 2013
    This book is an old technology book . I was very disappointed to find that all the technology in it is from the 70's and 80's. They are talking about using cedar blocks and such for foundations. Does not talk anything about the the newer insulated poured concretes or anything that what useful to me.

    the book had some good points. I was very dissapointed though. in the description, it describes the two differnt types of underground houses, an earth sheltered house and one that is truly underground. I purchased for the info on truly underground homes, however there wasnt an example of any one building one or how to do so, just the earth sheltered house the author built. If your looking for completly underground, this isnt the book for you. For example the earth sheltered house the author describes in detail wouldnt have the same isues with ventilation that truly underground would have. The summary was misleading and for the price I wouldnt have bought it.

    3.0 de 5 estrellas The Compleate Book Of Underground Houses: How To Build a Low Cost Home
    Calificado en Reino Unido el 16 de enero de 2014
    I found this subject delightful and full of first hand knowledge on the subject, however I found the pages a little outdated for the subject that appears to be a fairly new age development in terms of the content,
    I would like to see this book adapted with full upto date explanations, pictures in full colour, of the productive, prospective examples of a good postion to undergo and maintain this form of living and what can or cannot be acheived from this kind of accomadation.

    All in all I feel pround to own a copy of this rare book.

    1.0 de 5 estrellas A rather badly written and badly presented book
    Calificado en Reino Unido el 4 de febrero de 2000
    Sadly this book is badly written and poorly presented. The terminology used is clearly aimed at someone who already knows a great deal about earth sheltered housing so for someone interested in an introduction to the subject it is not suitable. Neither is it very inspiring with poorly taken black and white photos and scrappy illustrations. There are better books out there.
