Average Customer Ratings:
Log houses inspire fascination across most of North America. They evoke a simpler time - a tradition of independence and self-sufficiency missing in today's high-tech world. But a log house does not have to be a fantasy. Ownership is within the means of almost anyone reasonably handy with tools.
Allan Mackie believes - and demonstrates - 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, a couple or a family for years to come.
In this profusely illustrated book, the author takes the reader step-by-step through the building process - the selection of land, the purchase and preparation of the logs, the sharpening of tools and the cutting, lifting and fitting of logs, and all the other steps involved. With hundreds of photographs and detailed diagrams and drawings, The Owner-Built Log House is much more than a how-to guide. It is nothing less than a testament to the belief that where there is a will for self-reliance, there is the possibility of achieving it.
As a unique feature of the book, the author takes us through his current building project on a 100-acre wilderness site. The reader experiences the entire process - from buying land right up to moving in and spending that first winter.
Chapters include: - Purpose in Building a Log House
- The Building Tree
- Making a Set of Plans
- How Long Will It Take and How Much Will It Cost
- Good Site, Good Tools, Good Work
- Log Walls
- Notches of All Kinds
- A Roof Over Your Head
- Windows, Doors and Stairs
- Interior and Finishing Touches.

A wonderful book! -

The Professional Log Home - 
I am an electrician and not a home builder. And while I can frame a wall or build a shed fairly well I won't pretend that I could build an entire home without technical help. One day I would like to build a small log cabin with my family, even if it takes years. This book along with a few others that I read basically assumes that the reader will build a log home with the help of some contractors and even gives tips on being a GC. And while that is probably good advice to find the best and most experienced people to help build this home it isn't very pioneer.
If you are looking to build a log home as your primary residence than by all means read this book and others like it. If you are looking to build a small place and have fun doing it there are other books out there that are better suited.
Very comprehensive -
A very easy to read book(although technical in places) for the person serious about building your own log house. Beautiful photos make dreaming easy in this book.
Great Book -
A classic from the a master log builder. Lots and lots of color pictures and great easy to read diagrams. For those who really want to build there own log cabin themselves. Deals mostly with hand scribed round log construction. A+

From the original log home do it yourself guy! -
A great book! From the guy that started the whole log building
industry 30 years ago and continues to teach it worldwide. The main point here that Mr. Mackie
illustrates is that you can do it yourself and that what you get is so much more than just a house.It's a lifestyle!Just the kind of message people need these days when everything is so high tech. Wood is good for the soul!! Keep up the good work Allan!
