Building a cabin under $6000 possible?

[Tink]

If you go 24 inch spacing on studs, your top plate can be single, instead of double if roof rafters fall in line with the studs (24 inch center as well). Again, savings. Most efficient I have found is a modified post and lintel type construction with 4x4 posts on sides of door and Windows, 24 inch spacing studs between, while most of design on a 2 foot grid pattern excepting front door (36"). A four foot section could be 1/2 siding, 1/2 glass for light and ventilation, etc. look at Eichler homes on the net, he built in the 60's using the 2 foot grid pattern, as it matches lumber lengths for minimal cutting on job site and material costs.
