Or Lincoln Logs.

They say 10 days/ 3 people to erect.

I could very easily live in that. Put more money into land and have at it.

I just thought the building concept was interesting.

If I wore a younger man's clothes, I'd walk to the back of my property and choose some pin oaks (red oak species), cut them and use an Alaskan mill to cut some 20' cants. Stack under a shed and let them dry for a few years.

Cut some pine (I've got a couple I bet will cut out 3000 ft) and have them milled into 2x4, actual. Sticker the lumber next to the logs and let them dry.

When you go to erect the house, use a butt & pass on the logs and build roof trusses with the 2x stuff. Slab, sewer, decking and shingles will set you back a nickle or two, but I think I can get about 1200sqft in the dry for less than $20k.

OTOH...I've got $3k in a 12x14 built on 4x6 skids, 2x8 floor joists, 2x4 roof trusses, 4/12 architectural shingles and T-111 siding (unfinished inside, except for shelving) we just built last fall, and lumber prices are a bit lower since then.
