In this inspiring beginner's guide to building, author Lee Mothes illustrates the entire process from start to finish, beginning with site evaluation and ending with a finished building. Using his own detailed drawings and clear step-by-step instructions, Mothes shows how to:
- Build one small (6ʹ x 8ʹ) structure—suitable for use as a workshop, studio, garden shed, playhouse, or chicken coop.
- Use that basic knowledge to build a more permanent structure, such as a tiny cabin, granny flat, or home office.
- Modify the structure to suit your needs and location by adding a loft, moving doors or windows, changing the roof pitch, or adding rooms.
