It was the only way of providing oneself with a house or outbuildings.The craft of long building is a trade that takes considerable skill. If you intend to build your own log home, or a log shed, this book may give you some ideas of styles and floor plans. Anybody who is capable of swinging an axe will also be able to craft a notch.
