Learn from the Best: Build an Acclaimed Mackie Log House This big book gives you 48 log-house plans, with photographs, elevations and building tips. When combined with the basic text of B. Allan Mackie"s Building with Logs, this book is the next step for the serious log-home builder -- the complete map for getting the job underway. Designs range from a 432 square-foot guesthouse through a 1,140 square-foot cabin (that began as a ski lodge and eventually became Mackie"s home) to a 3,300 square-foot masterpiece that contains a sauna and swimming pool. Somewhere in this wealth of log-house plans is the perfect home and cottage for all who love logs buildings and are planning one for themselves. B. Allan Mackie continues to teach, design, and build. His schools have trained thousands of good crafts people; some of whom formed building companies internationally, with the result that the worldwide standard for excellence in log building is now a Mackie log house.
