Build Your Cabin for about $4,000

I wish this article had been available when we built our cabin. Its step by step approach to building a cabin would have been helpful. If you have minimal building experience as we did you could likely follow the steps in this article and build yourself a nice, cozy cabin. 

My husband and I built a cabin in the north woods on a small lake with no prior building experience. Actually, we have been quite amazed with what we have been able to accomplish. We built a one and a half story cabin by reading books at each stage of the process. As we finished one stage such as building the supporting beams we would research what the next step should be and how to do it.

The cabin in this article is also very reasonable in price at $4,000. The article was written in 2006. However, with the current drop in housing costs it is likely that the cost for building this cabin has not increase. If you need assistance building your cabin you could also very likely find construction help at a very reasonable price. 

Check out this article and see if you don’t find it to be useful. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/2006-06-01/Build-this-Cozy-Cabin.aspx

I love the idea of a tree house so when I found this site I knew I had to share it. This is a site about a DIY cabin and a treehouse. Check it out. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/slideshow/article/0,3110,DIY_29576_5943373_01,00.html. The porch on the cabin is a great feature also.
