Handmade Houses: A Guide to the Woodbutcher's Art

If you have ever thought about getting it all together...time, energy, land, materials...to build something of your very own, this book may entice you to take the fatal step. Author, Art Boericke and Photography Barry Shapiro have traveled for years to the ends of many rural road in order to visit and record the best owner-built structures they could. These words and images will not tell you what to build nor how to build it. We hope that the book will show you some neat solutions to old problems, with gorgeous embellishments, and it will tell you that you needn't be a titan of carpentry in order to have a sprightly outbuilding or a snug main house.
