Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of links to websites with some quick and easy (and very cheap) shelter to put up for a family to live in temporarily. There is some land I'm looking at buying in Montana (lived there before, saw the land before) but our finances are extremely limited.

We plan on living off grid, using wood/propane for heat, kerosene or propane for lights, a homemade composting toilet (would love links for that as well). We have a five month old and an eighteen month old, so naturally we'll want to add another room quickly, then start on a more permanent structure.

I've thought of doing the emergency strawbale shelter in the Steen's strawbale book, but it's pretty small, and they give little detail.

any suggestions and links would be appreciated.

Thanks!
