Your dream home is Horned Japanese Female College Student: Pleasure Share Houseapparently only a year's worth of physical labor, cost of supplies, and a work crew of children away-- if you want it badly enough.
In 2008, single mother of four Cara Brookins felt trapped: she was simultaneously living with a violent and abusive husband and being stalked by a mentally ill ex. She knew that even if she left, she couldn't afford to buy a house big enough for her family.

As Brookins explains on her website, she took her lemons, her kids, a bank loan for an acre of land and construction supplies, and she built a house.
A 3,500-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 3-car garage dream house worthy of replication on the Sims.
Brookins couldn't afford to pay for labor or construction crews, so with the sage wisdom of some resident Home Depot employees and a lot of YouTube videos, she and her kids learned how to build a house brick by brick.

Somehow we feel both inspired and horribly unaccomplished.
Bookins has since written a memoir about the experience, Rise, which comes out Jan. 24. You can put it on your bookshelf next to Wild and J.K. Rowling's inevitable memoir (or collection of tweets).
