If you own a few hundred acres of bush in northern Ontario and want a roof, then you may want to use some of the ideas in this book.
a truly inspirational book that lauds living more simply in terms of housing, what we need and what is really important. A tribute to a more sustainable and certainly cheaper way of living which has a degree of appeal across all peoples-regardless of financial status. Or maybe it will just appeal to old hippies!
Fun to read, but very few are practical. A few extra cubic feet of storage space would immensely improve most of the models, and avoid the chaos.
