How to Build a Beautiful House Without Breaking the Bank You will be hooked by the first house and eager to read about each house as you progress through this little book. Keep it in a handy place to read and revisit in spare moments of time...

Each of ten houses is carefully described and amply illustrated with color photos and multiple floor plan layouts. The inspiration of this book comes primarily from innovative uses of inexpensive materials. Some of the houses take on a "modern" look and feel as a result, but many are very traditional as well. See how others have created inviting, stately homes on well-defined budgets.
