8. Driftwood Home: Cost Unknown
This unique abode was constructed using local natural materials: bottles, bones, and driftwood, and was built using a technique called “stackwall.” While I am not sure of the exact cost of the home, it was made by a woman who had very little to work with financially. Stackwall apparently costs about a tenth as much as conventional construction methods. Definitely check out the link below to read the full story—it is an inspiring one.

9. The Golden Tiny House: ~$5,000
This home was constructed using an old trailer and otherwise new materials. I have not found an update on the final cost of the home (it was under construction at the time of the entry quoting the price). But I highly suggest checking out the entire blog, as it is one of the most transparent and realistic depictions I have read of what it is really like to build and live in a tiny house on a shoestring.
