"That way we will not be out all the cost of the house if for some reason things do not work out as planned. ".....
Rob Roy who is famous for his cordwood design homes has said for years that people should build a shed or barn or tool room FIRST..get the learning curve mistakes out of the way, THEN build your home. So many straw home builders say they wish they had done the garage first, cause now they have an OK house, but the barn is perfect..
also as Roy says, you an live on the property, reducing need for renting a place off site if you build the shed/outbuilding, then move into it, live lean , as you build the home.
just common sense advice.
( years ago a couple hippie kids were helping me on my property, they went on and on about building a rammed tire earthship, ... after I had them place just 8 rammed dirt tires to level a side yard area they were so exhausted and shocked at the work needed they realized they could not fill 2600 tires ( and there is no automated way to fill them)
