I have a piece of property in the north woods of Wisconsin. and I was looking into building a cabin. I looked at all the traditional ways to do it. By accident I was looking at my fav site and it featured a how to on earthbag building. I was intrigued. It was a great intro but it didnt really answer my questions. So while browsing my other fav site () I found this book. After reading it cover to cover. it opened my eyes to the possibilities of building my dream cabin without spending a ton of money nor would I have to worry about chopping a bunch of trees to make a log cabin. If you plan on doing this. make a lot of friends and invite them over to help. Trust me it will cut down on the costs that way too. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to do this.The pro is also a con with this book. It gives you a lot of info on how to do this. but it leaves it open in a way that invites you to experiment with the designs.If you are looking for a way to build with out hurting the world around you. and you want something that can withstand an earthquake. blizzard. and most anything else mother nature can throw at you. This is the book that can help you build it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent. thoroughBy Gavin FrazierExcellent. thorough. technical book on Earthbag building. This is a great book for someone who is really looking to experiment with earthbag building. I bought another book on that is way thinner/fewer pages and far less technical. The other book was _nice_ as an easy to read intro book on earthbag building. but this book is very thorough! I recommend this book for those looking into earthbag building! :)4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Comprehensive. well written. encouraging and funBy aztecthrushDecided on a semi-whim to go for it and build a small studio out back with earthbags. This book has most of what weve needed to get going on the job. Supplementary info is on the web and in other books. with different approaches that all seem to work. at least for the users. This book could maybe use a little more depth in a few areas. like plumbing and door installation. but I guess the authors assume anyone tackling a job like this is fairly confident. knows some things and knows how to find the rest--which is true enough in this virtual age. Comprehensive and well written. gives you plenty of details to think about as you approach your own project. A touch too much focus on domes. IMO. but thats because I dont intend to make any. If you do. youve definitely got the resources here to get you moving quickly and easily toward your domed domicile.
