Speaking of, it's usually easier to build stone floor rather than wooden ones to a rather ridiculous degree.
The economy of the game is weird that way; buying a pickaxe would cost you 40ish gold, and you can probably collect between 80 and 100 stones before it breaks (assuming it breaks, since repairing it is generally as simple as collecting a few ores and repairing it at a repair table, one of which is located for free at Orson's cabin).

Meanwhile building wooden floor will cost you between 400 to 600 gold just for a 6x6 tile just through the sheer amount of nails you'll need for the floors, walls and windows, and that's not accounting for the fact getting wood plank also generally involves buying a 30 gold saw AND a 30 gold axe, then having to use a lot of energy to cut down trees then turning them into planks, and that you won't generate the same material used to repair it like the pickaxe does (while needing to repair two tools at the same time thus doubling the repair cost).

All in all, stone buildings are somehow much easier to build than wooden buildings, making a wooden cabin can take between 4 and 6 days if you spend your whole time on it while managing food and money making methods, not accounting for 'convincing' the AI to give you the materials of course, making a stone building only takes about 2. 

tl;dr What I'm saying is there's a clear misbalance between stone and wooden buildings, and it's mostly due to the cost of nails. I wish you could just buy entire packs (100) of them for 20 gold or something, or perhaps an item that would spawn them in your inventory like a nail box, both for cost efficiency and to transport them, because a lot of the time I just end up having to chug entire packs of Lift Burden potions just to move about with the needed nails, or making piles of them.
