Description

Building and constructing barns, outhouses, A-frames, greenhouses, outdoor recreation sites, boat landings, and more. Homesteading is a lifestyle that people around the world gravitate toward—and for good reason. In today’s high- stress world, many people dream of heading off to their own cabin in the woods or to their large rural oasis to escape the anxieties and complexities of daily life, to live in a more natural state. Others have embraced the agricultural lifestyle of farming as a career, serving as fundamental contributors to sustaining society. With this classic guide from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), learn about the architecture of rural life and the design elements of these amazing structures. This manual, originally published and distributed in 1972, includes government-issued designs and requirements for log cabins, farmhouses, firepits and barbecues, greenhouses, storage sheds, stables, and more! Black-and-white diagrams and illustrations fill these pages, displaying the intricacies and dimensions of these incredible structures in their entirety. Brimming with ideas and inspiration, Log Cabins and Outbuildings is the perfect starting point for building your new rural retreat. Read more

  • Does not show anything but vague drawing/outlines of buildings.
Claims you can get the full sized prints from the extension agricultural engineer at your State university. After trying several times to find such at Ohio State University, gave it up as a waste of time. No one there could figure out what I was referring to. Perhaps I did not explain it well enough or was talking to the wrong State University. Did not try to write anyone, so maybe that would have worked. Either way, too much bother to continue pursuing. I would return it if I could, but it was a Kindle download and didn't cost much anyway. I gave it 2 stars because it might be helpful in giving someone ideas of what they are looking for. Not really much of a guide, though. ... show more

  • Not what the title states
Described as guide to how to build log cabins and other buildings. Is little more then a catalog of USDA plans you can buy separately. And only 3 of the 30 plans are log cabins. Returning book.

  • Poor Condition
This product has two large scratches on the front cover and what looks like to be grease marks on page 11. The condition of this book does not look new at all.
