I don't think I should steal plywood from local construction sites like I did back then. Where or how else can I obtain materials without having to buy them?

How about Timber - wood, for ship building. Canada has lots of lumber and the Brits were really, really into ship building around that time.\n\nGood Luck

the dump sometimes has good wood that you can use. me and my Friends built one from wood we found from the dump. still standing after five years. if it's going to be out side you might want to put some water proof stuff on it though.

if its somewhat large, or near something very important, i would recommend going to a local geotechnical/ civil engineer.  \n\na few hundred bucks may be worth it not falling over, and then you are out the wall and the money.  better safe than sorry.\n\nan engineer will review site and soil conditions to give you a quality end product, and a guarantee

There are various sites that explain how to build a paper blimp, just scale them up, as far as material goes you need an airtight flexible material that isnt subject to uv attack, mylar is the favorite.

I don't have a solution for you, but there are tons of people out there that have the same ambitions that you have.  I'd suggest going to www.motherearthnews.com and go to the forums.  Do you want to build?  If so there are tons of kits and do it yourself books out there.  In the forums I have seen off grid (no electricity) cabins on 10 acres for 25 k.  Thats pretty cheap.  If you need something less expensive, the forums are the place to look.

You can go to a scrap metal yard around any commercial site that does fabrication. That's what we did when we were in school. Got tons of good stuff.

I wish its not too expensive. But practical and economical. I wish the materials may be find at home. Its okay that we buy as long as its not too expensive. We are budget conscious. We are only poor and the economical status here in the Philippines is low. I wish the project can be made by a group with a nine members. Thank You. I wish you will help us to be a part of our good project. Thank You

if this is temporary, use a pawnshop.  the only real thing you need is shelter and food.
