When we were building our house we lived in a tent on the property. We were going to put up an old used mobile home, but zoning won't permit a new house to be built while there is an old one on the property. We were going to buy a travel trailer, but after sitting in a few while shopping, I realized that I would go nuts in a little space like that. With a tent, I get much more room. We put up a huge tent, a "beer tent" actually. Under that we kept a generator and various building tools as well as a 4 person (2person) tent that we slept in. I used the gas grill for cooking. Meanwhile, my husband built a two story shed for practice. We moved into that 12 x 16 structure after four months in the tent. We lived in the shed for another five months, then into the unfinished house. We would have had to buy the big tent regardless of where we slept, so the cost was for the little tent and some coolers.
