Authors David and Jeannie Stiles give readers all the information
they need to build their own cabins -- whether it be as a
wilderness retreat or a backyard studio. The authors describe each
step in the process from buying land to obtaining services, from
finding qualified construction help to deciding on and developing
plans for a structure that suits their lifestyle and budget. Cabins
is packed with detailed illustrations, plans and common-sense
advice.
Chapters include classic construction methods: how to build a
log cabin, pole-built and stick-built cabin, post-and-beam, stone,
cordwood and kit cabins. Construction methods are clearly
illustrated in photographs and drawings and the advantages of each
are explained in detail. Foundations, windows, doors, insulation,
roofing, installing utilities, water and sanitary systems and
heating are all discussed.
Many designs are presented as inspiration and to help readers
select the cabin that is perfect for them: homesteader log cabin,
writing cabin, guest cabin, Japanese moon-gazing cabin, lakeside
retreat, pyramid and A-frame, and hillside Mediterranean cabin. The
authors include personal reminiscences from successful builders and
cabin owners, and discuss furnishings and accessories that can help
readers get the most enjoyment out of their newly built wilderness
retreat.
