 How to Build
Cabins, Lodges and Bungalows, by
Popular Science
Monthly,
2006. 256
pages,
5.5x8.5",
softbound book. Nothing could be more American than the simple cabin. Not many generations ago,
it was the backbone of American life, the headquarters of that important unit,
the home. It provided shelter, protection, and a foundation upon which to build
a great empire. The pioneer cabin was, in other words, a necessity."—From the
Introduction Once regarded as a safe haven and a vital source of security, the
little cabin in the country is today more closely associated with leisurely
activities—a vacation spot and even a health investment. First published in the
1930s, this helpful guide was designed to provide vacation home builders with
all the information they needed to construct, decorate, and furnish a rustic
little cottage. Floor plans and outlines of necessary materials are included, as
are tips on constructing foundations, porches, doors, windows, fireplaces, and
other structural elements. There are even suggestions for furnishing and
beautifying your cabin. A useful how-to manual, offering straightforward advice
on the building process from foundation to roof, this practical book can also be
enjoyed as an entertaining look at lifestyle elements of the early twentieth
century. ADD2185-$11.00
