<p style=”text-align: right;”>Plainsman’s Cabin used to be a decent little forum,</p>
Sadly it slowly ended up a handful of people with no new blood.
No money.
That changes the direction and style somewhat.
But the wattle and daub, and yurts can both be made with little to no money depending upon your local resources. Log cabins are another option depending on where you are. Same as Adobe and other styles.
Where I am, a log cabin would be a challenge, unless I decided to use aspen as cedars and sagebrush are hardly cabin material.
One place I had intended to build on, would have been perfect for an adobe, I just didn’t have the time.
We used to live out where the original straw bale houses were. The straw bales were trash cleanup sometimes so the price could vary.
I’ve spent a night or two in line cabins working Cattle, some were palatial, others made sheep herders trailers look like the Hilton.
Look around, sometimes the easy solution presents itself. A friend decided to step back and get away after a series of bad events. He ended up trading into a travel trailer and picking up a chunk of trash land useless for anything else.
With some help, the trailer was seasonally enclosed within an old barn, which was nothing but a camouflage shell around a straw bale insulation layer.
I guess that we are all looking at different time frames.
A week, a month, a year or longer….. Personally a 16x16x16 room would leave me somewhat nuts before the winter was up, especially if I had been productive.
In an emergency, the little cabin could suffice but adding even the wife….. Wouldn’t be good.
