It 's Log Cabins not Log Homes

Excellent book from the 1950's on how to build a log cabin in the deep woods. Designed to take advantage on site materials requiring only simple non-power hand tools for construction. It doesn't reguire onsite delivery of comercial materials. Doesn't cover fancy plumbing, the newest elec. systems : solar panels, generators, inverters, etc. Nothing on the latest super insulation or energy saver appliances. If you don't want or need all the modern conviences, these cabins are great. Covers a number comforable functional "log" cabins using local materials for walls, roofing, flooring, fountation, furniture and stone fireplaces for heating. Not a book for log cabin "kits".
