| The Owner-Built Log House Living in Harmony with your environment. by B. Allan Mackie. Allan Mackie's
newest book. Allan Mackie believes - and demonstrates in this book -
that attitude is at least as important as carpentry skills. Given a
will to learn and a desire to make something of one's own, the average
person is more than capable of building a log house that will serve an
individual, couple, or family for years to come.
