Publisher's Synopsis

""My House: Chips The Builder Threw Away"" is a book written by Edward Augustus Brackett and first published in 1904. The book tells the story of a man who builds a house with the help of a builder named Chips. However, when the man goes to inspect the finished house, he realizes that Chips has thrown away all the scraps and leftovers from the construction process. Feeling guilty about wasting these materials, Chips decides to build a new house using only the discarded scraps. The resulting house is unique and charming, and the man decides to move in. The book explores themes of resourcefulness, creativity, and environmental consciousness, and is a classic example of early 20th century American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
