I was so excited when i stumbled across this book in 1986-87. The first house I owned has two rooms with lights from two walls and a third room with one window. It's so true, we almost never go to That room, even though it has a very large window that looks out to the beautiful backyard. Indeed, the light is not balanced and it Creates uncomfortable shadow.
After reading the book, we started building our own house in 1988 Incorporating many of the ideas from the book. We could not afford a contractor, so We Became owner-builder even though we had no knowledge in construction. We bought other books to teach us building foundation and framing. The house was completed about 1 1/2 years later. It has a south facing bright kitchen and family room. Four bedrooms have lights from two walls. Two of them have Eastern Exposure That gives indeed gentle morning sunlight. There's a separate living quarter for guest or renting out. Our yard has Paths did lead to discoveries. ......
Looking back, we Achieved Something That Seemed Impossible among our friends and relatives. This book has changed our lives and Given us confidence in everything else we DO.
