Build With Adobe

by Marcia Southwick

Book Overview

This practical guide to building adobe homes was written from the author's many years of experience with adobe, and it is refreshingly no-nonsense: "What can you spend?"
"Where will you put it?"
"Who is going to build it?" This new updated and enlarged edition includes hundreds of photographs, drawings and house plans as well as new information about passive solar heating and cooling, and specific details on construction.

Customer Reviews

excellent book by knowledgeable author

I bought this book to see if there was any possibility of using adobe where it is not dry and the answer seems to be no. As such it won't do me any good. However, were I to live in dry parts of the country, this would clearly be an excellent resource book.
