This is an excellent idea book with plans for building a number of structures. The last few structures in advanced projects are basically small houses.
Each project includes a materials list which is very useful if one is going to tackle that project.
The projects are organized with the easy things at the beginning of the book and difficulty progresses.
This book is worth skimming through just for ideas, even if you don't build any of it.
