Books by expert Monte Burch. I like all of Monte's
books because he provides good "how to" information and clear drawings
throughout which the beginning builder can understand and follow. More
extensive description of contents is given here to help you choose which
is best for your planned projects. In addition a pole style building
allows room for testing alternative wall infills like papercrete or
light-straw-clay, thus reducing additional need for wood siding or
paneling.
