The timber-framed home is attractive, affordable, and easily
expanded to meet the needs of a growing family. With the
step-by-step instructions in this book you can build your own
classic timber-framed house -- one that's enduring, and features a
level of craftsmanship rare in modern construction. Following the
traditional "hall-and-parlor" home design, architect and builder
Jack Sobon carefully and clearly explains finding the ideal
building site; creating the master plan; selecting the best tree
species; hewing and milling timbers; assembling the frame;
installing wall sheathing, windows, and doors; designing and
finishing the interior; expanding on the plan.
One of the best-known and most distinctive figures in the
timber-framing revival, Jack Sobon knows how to make home building
affordable with economical hand tools, by taking control of the
processing of building materials, and through using local
inexpensive supplies.
The basic house design of this book is easily adapted to meet
different needs. Sobon's practical advice incorporates the latest
knowledge on building a healthy house, integrating natural systems,
and finding effective home heating solutions.
