Rustic Retreats: A Build-It-Yourself Guide

Summary: Rustic Retreats
Review: We have enjoyed all the Stileses garden house/project books and consulted "Sheds" when we were planning our own shed. We especially appreciated the step by step instructions and clear drawings. We were still deliberating over plans when we saw "Rustic Retreats" in a book club ad and we ran all over greater Seattle looking for it. We must have bought the first copy in Washington. We proceeded to build the cover garden house in the fall of '98, finishing the shingles this summer. It was originally intended to be a storage shed but was so wonderful that we added chairs and a bed. It was our first building project and what a treat!

Summary: We built a weekend retreat with a minimal budget!
Review: We used this book as a guide and built ourselves a terrific weekend getaway. We would recommend it to almost anyone who had an interest in building and who wanted an inexpensive weekend retreat.
