From one of "Fine Homebuilding's" best-loved authors, Larry
Haun, comes a unique story that looks at American home building
from the perspective of twelve houses he has known intimately. Part
memoir, part cultural history, "A Carpenter's Life as Told by
Houses" takes the reader house by house over an arc of 100 years.
Along with period photos, the author shows us the sod house in
Nebraska where his mother was born, the frame house of his
childhood, the production houses he built in the San Fernando
Valley, and the Habitat for Humanity homes he devotes his time to
now. It's an engaging read written by a veteran builder with a
thoughtful awareness of what was intrinsic to home building in the
past and the many ways it has evolved. Builders and history lovers
will appreciate his deep connection to the natural world, yearning
for simplicity, respect for humanity, and evocative notion of what
we mean by "home."
