Oh, how I long to go back to the days of only $100 home store visits . . . . . .

$25 House
Most couples have to save a lot of dough if they want to build their first house, but the bulk of this dream home cost just $25 and a slab of beer!
Bob and Lyndell Neil bought their property 10 years ago in Gin Gin near Bundaberg in south-east Queensland. Whilst searching for a wandering cow, Bob discovered a huge pile of hardwood logs consisting of blue gum, ironbark and spotty gum. The timber was on crown land. His half-hearted $25 offer to the forestry department was accepted and he organised a truck to pick it up. A portable saw mill was the next item to appear on the property, ready for Bob to begin building. The ironbark beams in the house came from a dismantled bridge. Left lying around by the Department of Main Roads in Gin Gin, Bob's offer of a slab of beer was accepted and they brought the timber out to the property!Despite this luck, new cyprus pine timber had to be bought in at a cost of $3500 to finish off the floors and ceilings. The timber windows were obtained from a local who needed some help in building a picket fence.Bob discovered he had a passion for using recycled "bush" timber and started his own business, Slab Happy, making furniture and benches.Together with a mate, Bob often spends a couple of days each month camped in an isolated paddock or forest, trimming and hauling the huge logs found in the bush. They travel up to several hundred kilometres to collect the timber.

but i hate reuse'n nails
There actually was a guy at one of the local free wood lots who had his kids pick up puilled nails, pretty sure he straightened and re-used them. I've even straightend a few of the 5/16 by 10" spikes out of some pallets.
