This tiny house is occupied by a couple and their cats. This piece
of property came with a shack that could have been ... who knows what.
A storage shed? Whatever it was, it was uninhabitable. It was
nothing close to air tight.

Here is a rundown of where $362 comes from:

$10 - front door
$60 - fabric to hold in wool insulation
$120 - 400 pounds of wool in roof and door (it's nine inches thick in
the middle of the poofy part)
$27 - three straw bales for wall insulation (clay/soil was free)
$60 - wood (the rest was milled on site from trees we've fallen or
salvaged from the site's existing buildings or the cabin itself)
$85 - large window, the rest were free
