| Publisher Description: The story of a North Texas country boy's journey during the building of his log cabin on Lake Granbury is shared with readers. From the beginning of this author's cabin building dream, this book records the physical and emotional pressures of building a cabin and the difficult balancing act of planning and scheduling specific construction projects inside and outside a cabin. Many eco-friendly green features were used in the building of this cabin. The author shares his experiences from beginning to the project's completion including topics on solar & wind power, home composting, rain recapturing, and using recycled building materials. The author also shares the tests and trials experienced during the project to give readers a true record of what could occur. |
