Building a cabin under $6000 possible?
#4
I think you could do it roughed in for 4-5k, not counting premade windows and doors. Easy to make your own door, and screen+shutters can suffice in place of most windows. Built-in counters, shelves, and lofts are cheap and will strengthen your home if they tie together adjacent walls. Save money by buying second hand or cut-off roofing, simpson ties off craigslist or transfer stations, etc. There are a few places you can get leftover paint.

Smartboard and variants are often cheaper and longer lasting than T1-11. Metal even better. Come to think of it, consider a shipping container with wraparound lanai, or one of Rob's metal farm buildings with a lanai. Might save you a lot of hassle if the design appeals to you.
