Choosing a location for your vacation home is one of the most important decisions you will make. The features that make some vacation retreats desirablesuch as a nearby lake, river, or ocean; or a region covered by deep snow in wintercan also make a location a poor building site. But even in these areas, the following chapter will help you choose the safest spot to place your cabin, and teach you to add elements that strengthen or protect the structure as you build.

Strengthening a House in Earthquake Country

Earthquakes occur in many parts of North America with enough force to shake a building to pieces. If you plan to build a vacation home in any of these areas (map, right), you will need to reinforce the structure.

A Solid Base

Begin with a masonry-block foundation but stiffen it with a skeleton of -inch (16mm) steel reinforcing bars and fill the block cores with concrete grout Vertical rebars cast into the footing provide a strong anchor; depending on the height of the wall and on local code, you may also need special masonry units called bond-beam blocks that permit rebar to run horizontally inside the walls and around the corners without interruption. Check codes to determine which courses need bond-beam blocks and horizontal rebar.
