watch the pig who is building his from straw and improve on it a bit.
When the big bad wo.. er, critter, comes along and huffs and puffs and blows
his house down you may want to consider lining your wooden house with a
fireproof/wolf-snot proof skin.
A couple of layers of bricks, separated by an air cavity would make a decent
fire/critter-proof lining

Like everything, you should start small.
When I was kid, we built lots of things out of popsicle sticks.
That may be a good place to start. Be sure to spray with fire retardent
when finished.

Find a REALLY big log, bigger than the house you want. Cut away
everything that doesn't look like a house. Go inside. Cover it in
concrete.

Uhhhh..... yeah.
Uh huh.
Right.
You aren't sincere enough to keep your own post from self destruction,
and I can't imagine how anyone could even respond to this.
If you are serious, you could build a house by hiring a builder.
Or work for a builder for a few years and learn the interaction
between the trades, all the procedures, building codes, and safety
concerns.
Or build your own train wreck from library books.

A wooden house is not a suitable container for Xenon because it boils at
165.03K (-108.12C or -162.62F) and has a Van der Waals radius of only
216 pm.
I have read that Xenon should be stored in sealed glass or metal
containers and that Xenon dissolves in most plastics and rubber, and
that normal weather stripping and vapor barriers will not be sufficient
to prevent leakage - and as you grow older, you will discover that
leakage is increasingly a concern.
I suggest you clean up your act and live in a glass house.

Peace of Mind. One must always start with Peace of Mind.
And I'm only half joking. Instructions for my son's tricycle 30 some years
ago started with the admonition that I must have Peace of Mind before
beginning assembly. In that case I did Not have PoM by the time I completed
the assembly, but the more I thought about it the more sense it made. Almost
everything I've ever done in haste and sans PoM has led to various levels of
disaster.

I built a really big wooden house. I used really big boards and really
big nails. The house never burnt down but it has big critters. The
critters are about 90 lbs apiece and eat everything. Here is a critter
picture when they are not eating.

Looks like another troll contest to count replies pulled. I looked at
the odd newsgroup and it contains only trolling messages.
If you want to continue making jokes, at least remove the extra newsgroup
(as I did). That way your response won't count for his little contest.
