💰 Quonset Hut Build: Biggest Costs So Far!

Sharing the biggest costs from our Quonset hut build so far 🤍

This is on our own land in a quiet country town, and we’ve been able to save significantly by doing a lot of the work ourselves. We’ve hired professionals when needed, but this has mostly been a hands-on build from the ground up.

These numbers reflect the largest expenses so far—not every little detail—but I wanted to share a realistic snapshot for anyone curious about alternative homes, rural living, or non-traditional builds.

It’s been a learning process, but every step brings us closer to our dream hut—and there’s still more to come ✨
