Zuma:
I'm with Treavor,
You must keep those woods out of the earth.
The carpenter ants and termites will eat your
 work up in no time.
If you had red cedar or locust for post in the
ground you might be ok for a while.
You can split logs for roof and siding.
In other words you can do alot of work before
you build. Borrow a few bucks if you can.
Get a cant hook so you can move the logs yourself.

I've seen some lovely structure built from stacked and firewood that is mudded over or mortared in with concrete.  ...but even for such as that, you likely want some sort of foundation, ESPECIALLY in super wet climes like Louisiana!  You could quickly wind up with just a bunch of rotten wood if you don't spend the effort and money to do it right.

Cade:
Again the foundation will be a problem but something a little less primitive but very cost effective is pallet sheds. You can pick up wood pallets for next to nothing and if you look online it shows how they have constructed them.

mullet:
You could build the foundation on cedar or cypress post if you have nothing else.

Cool, what about glass bottles. They will let the light in.
