What is the considered opinion of the group on the easiest solo building 
method?

Many construction methods appear to be labor intensive, cob, strawbale, 
rammed earth, stick frame, etc.  Looking at building from the viewpoint of 
a single person with all normal building skills, tools, and machinery what 
would be a viable method and what tools would be needed?

These two passage reminds me of some "ponderisms" I saw not too long ago:

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people
die of natural causes.

Health is merely the slowest possible way to die.

People used to take acid to make the world weird.  Now, people take
drugs to make the world normal.
