Building a log cabin by hand

Over the last couple of years I have become a fan of Canadian author Chris Czajkowski who has hand built three log cabins in the interior of British Columbia.  The story of how she built Nuk Tessli is absolutely amazing.  20 miles from the nearest road armed with a chainsaw and an iron will.

She has written numerous excellent books but three of my favorite books of hers are:

Cabin at Singing River: One Woman's Story of Building a Home in the Wilderness

Cabin at Singing River: One Woman's Story of Building a Home in the Wilderness

Diary of a Wilderness Dweller
