I haven't spoken of the budget for this home but here are a few "Fun" facts:
- The budget for nails really is $4000.00! Seems like a lot to me, but building supplies are very expensive. No, they're not gold plated.
- It's cheaper, by a good amount, to buy an existing house in this market. That being said, it's impossible to get exactly what you want without building.
- This house will have over 40 windows and almost 30 interior and exterior doors.
- The trusses (43 or so) were built way up in the 'county' at Aroostook Trusses and delivered by truck. Everyone was a perfect fit. http://www.aroostooktrusses.com/
- Speaker wire costs $5.00 a foot? Really? HDMI Cables are even more.
- We are so lucky to be building our home, only a jerk would whine about the costs. Enough said.
| The front gables are complete and the builders are beginning to add trim. The rear trusses should be completely installed by end of day tomorrow (weather permitting). |
