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 touchesMackie also carefully addresses such issues as building ecologically and harvesting trees.This new edition of The OwnerBuilt Log House includes a new chapter that covers the building and finishing of two additional log houses, which were only in the planning stage when the original book was published.
