You clearly know nothing about this business. This is literally all I do for a living . There is no possible way on this Earth that you can build this cabin for under $2,000 . That is a 100% fact. It makes you look silly when you say that kinda stuff to someone that Specializes and builds these for a living. In your mind you think it's easy and low cost but in reality it a who different ball game. I will send you the itemized list of materials you're welcome to go through and price them out yourself

16x40 list of materials #cabinlife

You can't even start to buy the wood to build something like that for $2000 have you priced lumber since 1997? It has went way up.... This is a super nice looking building/Cabin.

Not so sure about that, unless you have a really good source for materials. Even then, there's more than materials involved. A business has to make a profit -- usually a bit on materials, but also on the time and effort that goes into design and construction.
