Do you want to build a log home? From tools and site selection to foundation work and bush cabin etiquette, BUILDING THE ALASKA LOG HOME includes everything you need to build with logs. The detailed drawings and insightful text in which Walker explains every step clearly and concisely take you from standing timber to the finished home. As Walker sums it up, "If you build carefully, fifty or sixty years from now someone will look at your handiwork ... with admiration and respect for the old skills well-employed." Author/photographer Tom Walker has lived and worked in Alaska for over 40 years. He lives in a log cabin he built himself near the entrance to Denali National Park.
