No complicated math or procedures. 2 and a half days and $600 they built a roof and porch. I also agree with the liking the pine Tongue and groove it's the easiest wall material to put up and looks nice without all that finish work. I'm not sure how people are figuring the cost of the cabins. I was figuring it would cost about $25000 to finish which seems high but includes foundation, septic, running water, solar panels, batteries ect.
Are these $5000 price tags just for a shell or what are people including. I don't see finishing the septic for less than $2000 anymore. Just wondering what the prices are including.

I'm going to bet that anyone whose building a $5K cabin isn't putting in septic or, for that matter, counting the cost to dig a well, either.
Usually that kind of estimate excludes utility installation since those vary so greatly based upon location.
