I think the $5000 for supplies underplays the enormous investment required to build this home. 1500 hours @ 30/hrs manual labour per week (could you do more?)

I think the $5000 for supplies underplays the enormous investment required to build this home.
1500 hours @ 30/hrs manual labour per week (could you do more?) works out to 50 weeks ... one solid man year of construction
Next question: What is required for ongoing maintenance and repair?
By the way, as an alternative, if you devoted one full year's salary, could you buy a better home?

- timdorr 17y agoI know this is barely related, but it reminds me of a quote about the Mac vs. PC argument. Paraphrased: Mac's are only more expensive than PCs if you consider the value of your time to be $0. Again, really off topic, but I like the quote :)
