I have done a lot of the work but I have also had a lot of help. I do what I can and if I run into problems I call in some people I know who does this type of stuff for a living ( at a discount to me ). The area is sort of remote but it is close enough to the main telephone junction that I can still get mid grade DSL. I have also wired the house with network cable in every room so I should be fine with internet access. In the future (if I can get the permit) I plan on building a paddle wheel power generator at the creek to get free electricity. I have always enjoyed tinkering with stuff and anytime you can cut the cost of electric and help the environment is a good thing.
I helped my best friend build a wind turbine 2 years ago to power his garage. It is really neat but he still has to use power from the electric grid for his aircompressor and heating.

I think thats your head smoking from all the BS rambling you just did..... WOW
Hmm it was weird to sell it to get 300$ for it only to rebuy BR player in the future for 100-150$.
Anyway as far as housing goes $300 is like 0.1-0.2 square meter of flat in center of Warsaw.

This is the cedar log cabin I am building, I still need to power wash the logs and stain them. Once I do that the logs will pop out a lot more. It has had a lot more work done to it but I haven't taken any recent pictures. It is 3000 sqft if you count theup stairs and basement (which will be finished eventually in man cave format!). It sits on 45 acre track of land with a creek running though the middle of the back yard. It may not look like much to some of you but I absolutely love it. And it is my lifes work so far. Once I sell the place I live in now I should be a lot better off financially. But that wont happen until I can move in, and it just cant get here soon enough!

Thats very nice house you have there. Is the interior (plumming, drywall, cabnets) up yet? Id love to see the inside. Nice choise on the metal roof, it goes really well with the wood stain.
The inside is about half way finished, the electric and plumbing is in but I still need to finish the tongue and groove paneling. There is no drywall in a real cabin!! I still need the cabinets and inside doors + the trim work. I saw a 12 point buck in my backyard drinking out of the creek near dusk last night. If I had a gun I probably would have shot it and had it stuffed and put over my fireplace.
To the person above saying $300 is about .1% of the house your probably right. But its also about 30% to 50% of the trim work for my windows and doors. You can't look at it overall because I have already paid for nearly everything else.
