With
enough ingenuity, there isn't a style of natural building that
couldn't be done single-handedly. Yes, even a log cabin. Obviously in that case the challenge is lifting really heavy logs into position. But all you need to do is figure out how to multiply forces and use mechanical advantage. You can do a lot with a come-along and a few pulleys. Of
course, everything will take longer. Some things might even take
more than twice as long as if you had two people.
In response to Scott's question, "why would you want to?" I love building alone, especially on my own projects. I like not having to communicate what I want done, and then looking over someone's shoulder to make sure they know what they're doing. My thoughts get very muddied and I feel lots of pressure trying to organize people and keep them busy. I really enjoy the slow pace of thinking things through on my own. I also enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to do alone what may seem impossible. Or maybe you are building alone out of necessity, without the money to hire help, or maybe there are no other people! Whatever your reasons, I think there is a tremendous sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in looking at a building you have created all on your own, no matter how hard or easy.
