Building from Within Alaskans Who Build Their Own

What drives one builder to create a tall, airy home, while another wants an underground "hobbit" dwelling or a log house with 28 tons of sod roof? Eighteen Alaskans talk about what drives them to build their own & how their self-built, often unusual homes reflect their very different personalities & life styles. A professional architect & psychiatrist add their insights about those who have not chosen the homogenized tract house but have created a more unique surrounding.
