Got my log home book
Jake | January 9, 2010The Craft of Modular Post & Beam: Building Log & Timber Homes Affordably is the name of the book. Could the title be any longer? Thank you for Amazon UK for managing such a speedy delivery.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
- Illustrations are clear and simple, which is good for educational book like this. Just like me to check pictures first, I just love comics!Everything gets covered starting from materials, so this is a good handbook for person needing the overall idea on how to build post & beam log home.
On the negative side, book lacks depth on some areas. Luckily topics, which are interesting for builder are included and dealt with in detail. I suppose this book is must read on log building courses that author holds.
Thank God it’s technical and not general picture resource book.
Good glossary and index, both are something that I especially appreciate, because this book is my first real step into English term in the area of log homes and log cabins.
I am certain that this book will make my favorite past time activity for coming weeks. I plan to write a complete review as soon as I feel comfortable with its content. As an example, there is a section in the book that tells you how to build a spiral log staircase into your log home. How cool is it that this book tells you how to use log to make everything imaginable… Ok, ok, get rid of that image of wooden fireplace, you are burning the house down.
