Homesteaders faced the problem of constructing shelter very quickly. To
do so, they often constructed simple cabins. Some also made use of what
was in their environment and built sod houses. These houses had the

to buy materials for constructing the windows, a door, and sometimes a
roof, and sod was cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
