1715–1778 Counted againZnovu spočítaní

The eighteenth century is where Habovka becomes measurable. About 180 people lived here in 1715 and about 350 by 1778. They lived off what the slope allowed — sheep and cattle on the pastures and, above all, the forest: felling in winter, hauling logs down to the water, floating the timber away. The houses were built of what grew around them, squared spruce beams dovetailed at the corners on a low stone footing under a steep shingle roof, and they went on being built that way for the next two hundred years, because it worked and because there was nothing else to build with.Osemnáste storočie je obdobím, v ktorom sa Habovka dá po prvý raz zmerať. V roku 1715 tu žilo asi 180 ľudí, do roku 1778 ich bolo okolo 350. Žili z toho, čo stráň dovolila — z oviec a dobytka na pasienkoch a predovšetkým z lesa: v zime rúbanie, zvážanie klátov k vode, plavenie dreva. Domy stavali z toho, čo rástlo okolo: z tesaných smrekových trámov previazaných v rohoch, na nízkej kamennej podmurovke, pod strmou šindľovou strechou — a stavali ich tak ďalších dvesto rokov, lebo to fungovalo a lebo z ničoho iného sa tu stavať nedalo.
