MorelCabin
Quilting Extraordinaire
There are a great many places in both the US and Canada where you can buy up land real cheap...like 5 acres for $5k in some places and I am sure there are cheaper places than that. With all the talk about job losses, economic upheaval, I thought I'd toss in a few ideas for extremely frugal home building ideas.
Everyone knows we don't need to live in homes that are 2000 square feet. Goodness some people around here live in homes that are not much more than 500 sq ft...and mine is a mere 840 sq feet and I could still live with less if I had to.
Here are some links to some very affordable builds! Most of these can be built with less than $20K in materials. Imagine that...a real cute dwelling and debt free living.

If I had a choice, right now I would be buying up about 25 acres or so and building a small cabin. My DH does not agree with me at all, but I wish he did. We could be debt free with money under the mattress ( I wouldn't dare put it in a bank right now:>) haha!
