   Do it yourself and save yourself the nightmare costs. A quick frame out with lumber, a door install, drywall and mud and texture match, trim, .... all doable by an average adult human of mild intelligence, and a good personal handyman education

   Is there any reason you have to buy from HD - every time I buy lumber from them its a nightmare, no two pieces are straight can you go to a local lumber yard? Mine does free delivery over a certain dollar amount

   Because we obviously cut a lot more than was needed to build a home on, and because shit isn't coming back if you use it like that. It's like spending more money than you take in just because you have some money in savings. If you want anything for when you're old or for your kids, you can't be doing that. Some of the redwoods we cut down were already centuries old when Jesus was born, or when Caesar was killed. And a lot of the sequoias didn't even produce lumber because they shattered when they hit the ground. It's an incredible loss, and it's one thing if we now have a bunch of houses among old growth forests, but that is not the case.

   By the 1920s that was no longer the case in most of the US. Sawyers and local mills and hauling lumber by ox may have been common up to and during the antebellum period, but that's at least 6 decades too early. That's like comparing a house built in 2026 to building practices in the 50s and 60s. 100 isn't old enough for what you're discussing.

   There were sawyers who would set up a portable mill on a piece of land and saw lumber to build your house. Also, the small local sawmill would accept your horse or oxen drawn logs to be cut and returned as lumber, again by horse or oxen. Not that you're wrong that lumber could be purchased from a mill that was cutting down large tracts of land and people cut their own trees for firewood, but there were services available and used to utilize their own wood.
