Title: Classic Cabin & Cottage Building book from 1979
Post by: John Raabe on June 28, 2013, 01:26:49 PM
I recently dug out this old chestnut from the back of the bookcase. A Time Life hardbound from the peak of the last back to the land movement. Covers all the territory with great step-by-step diagrams. See content page and sample page below:

This on building and leveling concrete piers.

Amazon has lots of used copies available for $4.00 including shipping CLICK HERE (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/080942410X/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used)
This sturdy book covers the whole thing from clearing the land to bringing water down from a stream or lake. Doesn't cover electrical work or indoor plumbing, but does a very good job on what it does cover. Also a fun read.
