RE: We are starting a homestead!!
Let me throw a cheep idea out here for you. instead of building a temporary cabin to live in while you are building your home check your local wrecker yards and see if anyone has a retired highway trailer that you can buy cheep, I picked up one here in my area for $800 make sure it has a good roof that doesn't leak, build a door on the end and some rooms in side an your in business. After your house is finished you can sell it back to the junk yard or use it for storage. I turned mine into a small barn.
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Great idea. We considered that, well I did, my wife (soon to be) was not gonna let that happen. I didn't even have to ask.
I did the cost analysis on doing it ourselves, it's gonna be pretty cheap. Now we'll have a nice guest cabin for people to stay in. It's not in the immediate vicinity of the home site, so it might turn out to be an off-grid AirB&B stream of income for the homestead. Thanks so much posting ideas , always gets me thinking.
Thanks for the idea about the barn. I am going to look into it.
