See more detail | | Practical Pole Building Construction
Practical Pole Building Construction by Leigh Seddon is a classic. First published in 1985 this book only recently found its way to my desk. When a book has been through 24 printings it doesn't take a genius to figure that it must be pretty good, and it is. While it has only black and white photos and illustrations it is filled with helpful information not found in other books on this subject including building a low-cost pole house and pole building on hills.

See more detail | | New Ecological Home
Shelter, like many elements of human existence, comes at an extraordinary cost to our planet and its inhabitants. Nearly 60% of all timber cut in the United States is used to build 1.2 million new houses per year. Construction wastes - and the staggering amounts of electricity, water, and nonrenewable products consumed in the day-to-day operation of the modern household - add to the massive drain on Earth's natural resource base. In addition to environmental costs, there are personal economic costs - the thousands of dollars homeowners spend each year to heat, cool, and power their homes. Today, a new generation of architects and builders is emerging, intent on constructing homes that cost a fraction of the environmental impact of conventional housing.
