But all other things being equal - the less you can get by on, the less you will indebt yourself in terms of toil. I’m with Ed Elias in spirit.

The answer is not to reduce yourself to a dog house, The answer is to decapitate the abusers. Just wait, the masters will find a way to make you toil for a house the size of a dog house.

There is no reason why the efficiency created by "assembly-line" type work can't be used to also create some really nice looking custom homes! This is already how a lot of prefab industrial offices, portables and even toilets are done. Sure, they all look the same BUT with the advent of precision laser/water cutters along with modern industrial practices, creating hundreds of "unique" prefabbed homes is now possible!
