>>1891565That's the new cabin. My old cabin I built entirely myself from plywood and logs. It last a decade before it started to rot, and the cost of replacing the roof, floor, etc. was such that I'd basically end up building a whole new cabin. I took the pot belly stove, furniture, windows, and everything else I could reuse out and burned it, then ordered the first prefab building and had it placed on top of the remains of the old cabin. Prefab building was nice for a few years, then I had the budget to expand it and improve on it, so I did.
Don't spend your money on stupid shit like trendy clothes, iPhones, and other bullshit and you'll discover it's a lot easier to save up for that sort of thing than you initially thought. The more work you can do yourself, the cheaper it gets. I did all my own plumbing, electrical work, flooring, insulation, etc. I only purchased what I couldn't build myself, and had it delivered; all labor was my own. Hell, look into how to build a log cabin if you want to do EVERYTHING yourself.
If you can't afford land, look into the squatter's rights laws in your state. Some guy delivering a prefab cabin/shed in the middle of nowhere isn't going to ask if you're the property owner, and if you can show you've lived on the land for a certain length of time, the land is yours. Don't steal somebody else's land; take it from the government or a corporation. Fuck 'em.
