Books

Hello everybody!

I live in Holland and houses here are very expensive!

Does anyone know if there are some good reliable books for sale that I can read about building a loghome? I'm not very skilled, so please keep that in mind.

I would like to take the course but that is not going to happen for some while I think.

Let me hear your suggestions please.

log home building book

Try "Living Homes" by Thomas J. Elpel. He gives a lot of how-to ideas on building homes, including the method taught in class. Not as detailed, of course, but it's a very good source. He also tells about straw bale homes, slip forming stone walls, basic construction methods, and energy efficiency.
Well worth buying.
