House-Dreams The Story of an Amateur Builder and Two Novece Apprentices and How They Turned an Overgrown Blackberry Patch, Ten Truckloads of Lumber, a Keg of Cut

The story of an amateur builder and two novice apprentices and how they turned an overgrown blackberry patch, ten truckloads of lumber, a keg of cut nails and an antique staircase into a real home. "House-Dream is probably the most warmhearted and engaging book about house building that I've come across. Hugh Howard has done a terrific job of charting the builder's journey while personalizing it for everyone." (BOB VILA) Major decisions often get made for small reasons. The day we resolved to build a house for ourselves demonstrates how the little can beget the big. The impetus for one of the most momentous decisions of our lives proved to be a tiny wildflower."
