Are you trying to make a full castle that early on? IIRC the journal quest is just to make a room with floors. Which really isn't that bad, even the "designated"/ruined castle spots if you choose to settle there have ample amounts of stone you can easily breakdown.. Just start small and expand as you go. Hell longer refining times aside you can keep a lot of your stuff outdoors since the mist brazier exists.
