- Synopsis
- Making, maintaining and mending our own homes is part of what makes us human. It is a skill that was alive and well until just a few generations ago. Harrison Gardner is a man on a mission to help us rediscover the lost art of building our own home while treading more lightly on the planet in the process.Build Your Own explores the principles of construction and outlines a multitude of practices and methods that enable you to build a home with the materials available to you. Techniques such as bricklaying, plastering, flooring, making mortar and building walls are distilled into simple, practical recipes anyone can try themselves.Whether you plan to build your own structure, are curious about the idea or are working with professionals, Build Your Own is an essential tool that shows that anyone can learn to build – and perhaps everyone should.
