"The many virtues of the small, independent building set apart from the main household have been recently rediscovered by those who question the notion that all domestic pursuits must take place under a single roof. This book proves that nearly anyone can construct an outbuilding--not a flimsy, amateurish junk pile either, but a sturdy, handsome, weather-tight structure that's eminently usable and thoroughly presentable. Such a project can yield a bounty of rewards: a private space in which to work, think, read, write, pursue a hobby, escape from friends or family, play or compose or listen to music, introspect, or just relax in splendid isolation. The very same building-supplies industry that has made life easier for professional builders over the years has now made it possible for an unskilled layperson to put up a small building in a surprisingly short time for surprisingly little money. This guidebook describes a basic frame design that conforms to nationally accepted building codes and uses universally available materials. The design has been carefully formulated and tested with an eye toward simplicity and modularity, so the resulting outbuilding is first and foremost very easily constructed." [publisher copy] This has 5-star recommendations from DIYers; "A Tiny House Book Before They Were Cool!" Later revised as Building Thoreau's Cabin in 1992. Near-pristine Fine paperback w/no interior markings, sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Seller Inventory # RUB3609
