Logs, Wind and Sun: Handcraft your own log home…then power it with nature.

I read this one awhile ago but since I was posting the Ewing’s other book I thought I’d add this one as well. The book is a guide to building a log house, with a few sections on powering the house with wind and sun. It’s a very enjoyable tale. I don’t plan on building a log house but even so some of the challenges are the same regardless of the type of house to be built. Like access to the building site. The Ewings talk about how the log truck couldn’t get up to the building site — so dumped the logs a mile down the road and left them to haul the huge logs themselves. Note to self: make sure that our access road is in good shape! Anyway this is a delightful book and well worth checking out for anyone planning to build their own home.
