nigga, you can get a real house on an acre + for that much money. why would you spend that much on a fucking trailer? even a top tier airstream would only cost you 30k and be twice as good as whatever bullshit you slap together.

pretty fucking salty about it, not gonna lie.

hey dudes. i'm trying to build my own house. i've done a fair bit of construction before, so technical skills aren't much of a concern. particularly because i've tried to make the design as constructable as possible.

that being said. materials are fuckin' expensive. its like a couple grand just for the form wood for the foundation. what are good sources of cheap-o materials? craigslist is good for tools but rarely has the volume i require in terms of materials.
