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.

Go drive to a timber yard and buy in bulk. If that's still too much, I heard one little pig built his house out of straw and it held up for a while at least.

There is actually lots of cheap materials that you can use, and here are some pictures as an example.

Do like the pioneers.
Cut your own trees to build cabin. There are always places on craigslist offering "free wood, cut yourself"
Here theres a few acres of woods at one place with a big ass sign at the road saying something like
"free wood, take down your own trees at own risk"

build it out of stone. farmers literally cannot give away piles of rocks they remove from cleared land. then its just a matter of forming and mortar.
