Buy this book! Jan 15, 2002
By Darren T. Yarbrough
"darren_y2001"
While no one book will make you an expert builder this book will show you that you can build your own Log Home. Roger Hard has written an easy to understand How To Guide with topics like tools needed, chain saw mills even alternative power sources. I especially liked the tree species map of the US and Canada and the insulation value chart of the different species of wood.
Along with other books, videos,web sites, message boards, talking with Log Home owners and dealers this book should be apart of your strategy.

Everything you need Nov 17, 2007
By C. Adams
"C. Adams"
This is the best of the cabin building books I've read yet. This book not only shares great technical detail with quality photographs but also discusses how to plan ahead to minimize the chance of mistakes. Discusses what the banks are willing and not willing to finance, land and site selection for building, type of ground to build upon among many other topics in addition to very detailed construction methods.
This may be the only book you need.

A classic how-to Apr 27, 2000
By Donald J. Berg
This update of the classic 1977 book will help you choose a site, plan your cabin, find a kit or build from scratch. Easy to read text, illustrations, plans and details of a pretty 24' x 40' hillside cabin can be a do-it-yourself guide or can serve as your inspiration for other cabin designs.

Now in an updated and expanded new edition, Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home is a solid, in-depth guide to a venerable and neglected art. Chapters cover log preparation, needed tools, site and cost considerations, sample designs, accommodating heating systems and other utilities, the differences between manufacturer's kit homes, maintenance of one's log home, and much more. Black-and-white diagrams and photographs illustrate this methodical, easy-to- follow instructional. Build Your Own Low-Cost Log Home is a practical-minded resource for creating a livable modern home, packed cover to cover with tips from firsthand experience.

How to live on your own in the middle of nowhere! May 25, 2009
By Ryan Cawdor
"Scarecrow"
This is an excellent book for those who want to live on their own in the wilderness or for anyone wanting to "Go Green". The cost of building a log home is low with high rewards to those that actually build one. My purpose for getting this book is to have the knowledge to build a log home once I get myself and my family out of the "lower 48" and into the last frontier away from our ever increasing socialist government. The book is great as are many others! If for nothing else, learn how it was and is being done all around the world.
