> Now that you have read "The $50 & Up Underground House Book" you may be asking, "Can I design and build a home or other structure with what I have learned here?" The answer is a cautious, qualified, "Yes." Yet we don't recommend it. We have found that most people have trouble transferring knowledge from a book into actual practice. A number of homes we have seen built from this book have been disappointments. The folks, sad to say, botched the job.
> Not that the book itself failed. Readers, reviewers and builders alike overwhelmingly agree this is the finest book on the subject. The problem is that books are two dimensional, soundless, unmoving. The problem is underground housing presents new problems that even many professionals fail to recognize. The dif- ficulties for owner/builders are greater yet, especially for those who have never built before.
@mad_hatter Пруф или написал дисклеймер, что довольно мудро, учитывая что книга писалась в США американцем для американцев, сушащих котов в микроволновке и отсуживающих за это компенсации.
