Yeah building a home can be very stressful and time consuming. If you and you spouse/SO can survive building a home, you can make it thru just about anything. So many things to pick out, buy, and store somewhere until needed. We eventually rented 2 large storage units about 1/2 a mile from the home site. Wait till DH finds out 1 shipping container is too small for all the stuff they need to store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share #11 Posted December 2, 2020 House permit is ready. Anyone venture a guess as to the cost I will pay today? 2 bedroom, 2 bath, garage, 2 modest porches. Of course, I get this message after I get home that it is ready for pickup. This means I get an address today. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I didn't answer. Once we were talking about his next home building project. I mentioned... "Yeah... I'd like to meet your next victim."

I knew a permit would not cost $110k, so I assumed we ere guessing the cost of the home, not including the lot. My guess for the permit... $1500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted December 2, 2020 Share #19 Posted December 2, 2020 My wife's aide has been living with her inlaws. They just got word yesterday that everything is approved and they are buying the neighbor's house for $30,000. Since grandma watches the kids during the day this will be perfect. It's only two bedroom but a good starter house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was based on the number of sq ft in the home about 3100. I thought $1500 would be a lot at double my cost. I'll reduce my consulting fee to $0.00. You need good news about the cost of your home.
