Cabin

If you dream of building a simple getaway cabin, here is a must-have for your bookshelf
CABIN is filled with helpful tips to guide you on the way. This well-written and beautifully illustrated book is backed by decades of cabin-building experience. You'll discover how to find and evaluate a beautiful piece of land, and how to site, design and construct a getaway cabin that's both distinctive and functional, from foundation to roof. There's advice on heating, cooking, lighting, acquiring water, and dealing with waste-- everything you need to make your simple, off-grid cabin efficient and comfortable. Finally, there's a guide on other valuable resources-- the best books, suppliers, and on-line tools to help you with your cabin build. The authors add anecdotes and "lessons learned" from their many years of cabin living, from the Hamptons to Alaska. CABIN inspires, informs, and entertains, making it that rare "how-to" book that's hard to put down.
