These houses would be interesting to live in, if you dont mind living in houses WITHOUT BATHROOMS! Nice houses to look at, and one or two might be nice to build (two out of the whole 48 could be liveable as a weekend getaway), but if youre looking to buy a housebuilding book to actually build a house, look the other way. Les Walker must be running out of ideas because its just a reprint of his first book. I doubt HE lives in a 250 square foot house with no bathroom and an igloo cooler for a refrigerator. CMON LES, SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless Amazon made an error these books are exactly the same. I bought Tiny Tiny Houses a year ago and just discovered that the contents of A little house of my own is the same.
I have been looking for ideas for a cabin I plan to build and live in full time. This book did not offer much along those lines. The variety of "houses" was surprisingly vast, but as far as structures one could actually live in it was slim pickins. From an ice fishing shanty to a canvas house this was an interesting read, but didnt offer the sort of home where one would place the computer desk and hang a picture. As a collection it is interesting and sometimes fun. But I dont regard this book as much help for someone wanting to actually wind up with a place to call home.
