Vacation Homes Review

This is actually an excellent little guide with practical choices of several simple but classic home styles. Based on the guide originally published in 1972, it gives all the required information (plan details) to build the homes included. There is not a lot of text or explanation of building techniques, only the plans, text with use and design considerations and plan details. I actually really recommend this book for those looking for complete plans for a vacation or small home they could afford to build
