Took over a year and it's still not complete or liveable.

Typical medieval wattle and daub cottages only took days to construct.

The first European settlers to Christchurch NZ in the early 1800's, put up small single room timber shacks in a single day, after a day sawing and cutting timber to size.
Modest 2 room timber cottages (with stone fireplace surround and chimney) are completed in less than a week.

Many are communally built/ erected using friends, Neighbours and family.

in an era of zero health safety/ building reg code just think tree house gone wild.

How do you imagine entire towns appeared almost overnight built from timber during the gold rush era.
