Log Homes Made Easy: Contracting and Building Your Own Log Home

I recommend this to anyone that is contemplating building or having a log home built. It provides the structure of the processes involved in getting a home built. Understanding the process will actually help you understand and control where time and resources are being used saving time and money.B. McNeil

I found the first edition of this book in my local library and loved it. It clearly takes you step by step through the many phases of building a log cabin, whether one starts with a kit or goes into the forest and cuts down trees. It has detailed schedules and contains tons of very helpful suggestions. So, when I saw there was a third edition for sale, I jumped on it because some of the concerns raised in the first edition seemed somewhat dated. I was disappointed to see that the newer edition was virtually identical in content to the first. I am glad to have my own copy, but if a used earlier edition is available, it's got everything you need in it.

Provides great details on what a contractor has seen and recommends based on his experiences in the field. Easy to highlight big points and gives examples of paperwork needed to be a owner contractor as well. Nice to find a professional that encourages owners to get more involved with the their homes.

I found this book very helpful in research I was doing. It was clear and gave me more background for the articles I was writing.

Great book contains lots of information that I didn’t know was very informative

Covers the basics in enough detail systems that you can keep yourself from getting into trouble as you plan your log home.

Excellent book useful insight!

Not what I was looking for. Seems to be somewhat outdated. Has some good information but I would try to find another resource.
