Thanks for the condolences and congrats John.
It has been very difficult, but I am trying to move on in many ways. I have suffered with severe depression for the last 25 years or so so all of that hitting at once almost pushed me over the edge.
Not quite that high on materials out here, I do know 2x4s here are around 6.75-7.00 each right now (was just at the Orange box store yesterday.) I am not looking forward to seeing to cost on my build, especially since outer walls out here are mostly required to be 2x6 framed. (Those were around 12.00 for an 8 foot 2x6). I am looking at around a 2k sq ft house, so I cringe at what lumber will cost. Thankfully labor for a framer isn't too bad out here, yet.
I will end up with a pretty good ROI on my current house, if I can get the kitchen reno done soon so I can list it before end of month. The proceeds from this house should be enough for my well, septic and crawlspace footers walls at least. I do need to buy a cheap RV to live in on my new parcel during construction as well.
My years right now have been more lead than gold for sure, lol.
