Rese�a del editor:

The author describes his long but ultimately rewarding struggle to build a home for his family with his own hands, discussing the planning and construction of the home and the vast community of new friends he acquired along the way.

Contraportada:

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." (from House-Dreams)
