[quote:wovocca 3514:MV81NTI2MzNfODg4MjM5Nl8yMzhGMkY5RA==] We built ours ourselves. My wife, daughter and myself. 3330 sq ft two story log. The floor beams and joist are oak trees with saw mill oak 1x6's for the floor. The walls are 2x6 saw mill oak studs about 3 to 4 feet apart with pine logs in between. Being short logs we could lift them our selves. The metal roof was the most costly part. Right at $1000. The chinking is made of mortor mix, sand from the creek and shredded paper from free news papers. We have just under $6000 in the whole thing. Two bedrooms and a lot of split level rooms. We built the doors and windows our selves. Since we are off grid we use two solar pannels and a generator. Propane runs the stove, water heater and fridge. A phone line is the only conection to the outside world. Yep, it can be done. Took 5 years to build but its paid for in full. [/quote]
