My mother & I want to get out of the mobile home we are currently living in and build a small house. We will have to build it paycheck to paycheck which will equal roughly $1000 a month towards the new house. We DO NOT want to go solar. We want to use our existing power & plumbing and just set it up with the new house. My grandfather will be able to help with the construction & any setting up needs so we won't need any professionals.
My main question is: do you guys have any advice on how we can build a house for under $5000 and it not be solar? All the plans I find online are about small solar houses with compost toilets & ours will be regular power & plumbing. We need: a full bath, kitchen w/ a laundry closet, living room, bedroom & a loft or a 2nd bedroom. Thanks guys!!!
Also, we live in Alabama in a rural area.
I forgot to mention that we will be clearing the roughly 1/2 acre of land that is behind the current mobile home. It's all trees. We will be doing this ourself because we don't have the money to hire a company. Any advice or tips on doing it ourselves? And is there a way for us to use the trees we cut down to build the new house? How would we strip & treat them? Any & all advice welcome!!

What about remodeling your current because it will cost to get permits-that is a requirement! And run the electric plumbing lines- which should be run by a professional. Look up "small houses" on the internet. Yahoo just had a great article. Inspiration! I've also seen people use those metal shipping containers- amazing stuff (again permits though-for anything) and saw one college kid who lived in a train- it was wonderful Paid no property taxes as he was on the tracks at a yard.

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment wanted to know different activities my daughter can do and toys that she can play with instead of watchen tv.
Answer
at 1 she will love exploring the world around her so definitely take her outside as much as possible. She will enjoy playing with real things as much as regular toys so to save space on storage try to use as many everyday things that are safe as you can. She will enjoy sensory experiences the most so think of things that engage her senses.
Dancing to music or making their own music is usually a favorite of toddlers. Turn on a CD and dance around the house with her. If you don't have any kid friendly instruments get out pots, pans, and bowls and give her a large spoon and let her bang away to create her own sounds.
Water play is another favorite - you can set her up in the tub to play with bath toys. My kids favorite is a bag of balls made for a ball pit that we fill the tub with and let them play. You can also give her things like cups and bowls to practice pouring and dumping. If you don't won't to go full out in the tub set her up at the sink with a step stool (if she is standing) and let her fill and dump cups.
Art is messy but fun at this age and is more about the experience than the results. There are washable non-toxic markers and finger paints that are great for little ones to use. The bigger the paper you can give her to draw on the better as she will like to use large sweeping motions.
Stickers is a not so messy art option that most kids love. At first you will have to pull them off for her and help her stick them on the paper but she can help you pat them to make them stick and eventually will figure out how to do it herself.
A game you can play with stickers is to stick one on a body part and name it maybe sing a silly song like " mommy has a sticker on her nose, on her nose, mommy has a sticker on her nose" stick them on her or on yourself then Let her stick them on while you name the part.
There are lots of recipes online for homemade play dough that are great for little ones. She can squish, roll and pound it. Then if she gets bored using just the dough itself you can add utensils like a baby knife to cut with or cups or cookie cutters to make shapes.
