Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Praise for the first edition: 'B. Allan Mackie demonstrates to anyone who has ever dreamed of having a log home that ownership is within reach.' -- Log Home Design A decade ago, B. Allan Mackie was nearing completion of Ardea, the log house he built on Shanty Lake. He shared these experiences in the original edition of The Owner-Built Log House.

This book is a testament to Mackie's most treasured desire -- to reproduce the life and style of the pioneers. In this unique book, Mackie provides a thorough, expert and practical guide to building a log house. He demonstrates that, with the will to learn, the average person is more than capable of building a log house that will serve for years to come. This profusely illustrated book is both a technical manual and a photo essay. Mackie, renowned for his skill, recounts each step day by day. The chapters cover: - The purpose of building a log house - The building tree - Making a set of plans - How long it will take and how much it will cost - Choosing a site and tools - Log walls - Notches - Roofs - Windows, doors and stairs - Interior and finishing touches Mackie also carefully addresses such issues as building ecologically and harvesting trees.
