Recognized throughout North America, Europe and Asia as the foremost builder of log houses, he provides a thorough, expert and practical guide for anyone undertaking such a DIY project. More than a technical manual, the profusely illustrated book is as much a photo essay. Thirty of the pictures cover the construction of Mackie's home on Ontario's Shanty Lake and a smaller retirement home where he now lives., A good read for those planning to venture into the log home-building process, Mackie's wry prose takes the reader step-by-step through the entire process, aided by hundreds of full-colour photographs and detailed diagrams and drawings. Based on Mackie's experience in creating Ardea, his log house on Shanty Lake, this new edition includes a chapter that covers the building and finishing of two additional log houses, which were only in the planning stage when the original book was published.

The prose is as clear as Yosemite's sky at dawn, and illustrations and photos provide plenty of guidance when you're up to your elbows in timber. Mackie doesn't mince words, and he doesn't glorify the process -- but he does impart the satisfaction of building something extraordinary.

  • Priceless book if you’re interested in building with logs

    Since I got a wild hare to build a log home, I’ve accumulated 15 log building books. This is one of the best. Allan Mackie is arguably the GOAT (greatest of all time) when it comes to Knowing EVERYTHING related to building with logs. Well written and also very entertaining, this book pretty much covers it all. Mr Mackie was a true legend. What I’d give to have a fraction of his knowledge, talent, and experience. This book is a must-have if you’re interested in the subject. The pictures I’ve uploaded are the location I’ll Hopefully be building on. Shown is the first felled and peeled tree. I’ll either get in great shape or die trying. 😉
