"How To" Build This Log Cabin for $3,000

by John McPherson

A step by step "how-to" on the construction of a log cabin profusely illustrated with over 300 photographs plus several line drawings. This book was written and designed for the "average" person who has the desire to build a log cabin but not much knowledge. Modern tools are used and everything but logs (including roof) were purchased and yet the cost of construction was kept right at $3,000. Common problems are shown being solved using not much more than common sense. From trees in the timber to the final chinking, this book is designed to get the reader out there and building.

Well this work off the McPherson proves the lived it and; are the real McCoy! In short, great general manual on building a logcabine from basicly scratch.

It has some strong points on tackeling basic building problems that come with this type of housing, but in the easy, go with the flow way of explaining it looks as a great project.

Again, they did it, recorded it scientificly, and; scored!

Would by the cabine with some ground if i would be searching for a place to live off grid.

Excellent addtion on there previous works, and surpasses all skill levels of the; general commercial loudmouths experts worldwide on primitive technology and outdoor skills.
