Book Reviews of Living Homes: Integrated Design & Construction
Book Review: Detailed eco designs aimed at the DIYer
Summary: 5 Stars
This could be considered a Permaculture approach to building your own house, covers almost everything you would need to know to replicate a similar, cost and "eco" effective housing, down to plumbing and plastering tutorials. This is by no means a comprehensive directory of all the available "eco" materials, but focuses on his thorough hands-on construction that is locally appropriate (Montana) like slip-form stonework and log-cabin, plus decent coverage of DIY masonry stove and a methane digester.
Well written without too much narrative or technical analysis. Similar in value to Rob Roy's Earth-sheltered Houses
