    The down and dirty on alternative home building
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007*

Most of the housing being built today is shoddy. Volume homebuilding corporations breeze into town, rape the land, slap up substandard cardboard-quality "houses" on postage stamp-sized lots and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit. Many of these contractors get run out of the state, change their corporate name and then move on the next urban sprawl boom.If you're sick and tired of seeing beehive neighborhoods spring up in your town with siding walls you can put your fist through, do yourself a favor and take this crash course on alternative homebuilding. This book will give you an excellent starting place to learn about how you can build your own high quality, inexpensive home with low environmental impact.There is a lot of detail in this book on the methods presented. The "butt and pass" log home building chapter alone is worth 20 times the cost of the book. You won't easily find that information anywhere else outside of taking a log home building class from the Log Home Builders Association in Monroe, Washington, which is the only place I know of that teaches that method.

    This is a good source for anyone interested in homesteading today
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014*

This is a good source for anyone interested in homesteading today. Illustrations are a little out-dated but still a solid source for you to build with. It covers as the name implies living in a home in harmony with what God gives us to manage. What the author covers here would be something you would find in a permaculture book's section on home construction. But this is buy far the best and most detailed book I've fold that covers all aspects of build a home for you and your family to live your life in....that's what you do. You don't build to sell...you build to add value to the quality of your life with as little as possible recourses used.

    Wonderful information
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2011*

Living Homes has provided me with entertainment and information I was seeking.  I am planning on building a new house and this book gave me a lot of information to think about.  I like the energy efficiency that the book promotes and it gives a lot of ideas to think about when planning an energy efficient home. Stone masonry fireplaces for heat was a subject that I wanted to explore and the book has some information on it. It also describes many different types of heating systems involving heating water in a floor and solar heaters.
