/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'll admit, I am hesitant to get into self built homes stuff because of hippies.

It's not that I don't appreciate their efforts to return to older, effective housing, or to use modern techniques to build something less harmful to the planet. That's great, encourage the old/new building methods to give people better homes.
It's just the earthy-nutty-crunchy-flakey hippie crap that they drag along as well. No, I don't want to have a communal house and farm, or to rejoin my spirit with the great earth mother, or to sing in a drum circle in the middle of the night with a bunch of naked weirdos.

I just want 20 acres of land, a house set away from the roadway and neighbors, and maybe a little barn for more chickens and a couple goats.
Sustainable/eco/self built/hippie housing so far appears to be the cheapest method of going about getting that.
