In this, B. Allen Mackie’s latest book, he takes us on the exciting ride of following the
building of his personal home almost entirely by himself on a large acreage in Ontario. He
demonstrates in this book that with the right attitude, a will to learn and a desire to create
something of one’s own, the average person is more than capable of building a log house
that will serve them for many, many years. Supported by hundreds of photographs and
detailed drawings and with the consideration of the ecology in mind, we are taken through
the entire process of selecting the land, purchasing and preparing the logs and the entire
steps of building the home right up to moving in and spending the first winter.
