    Default And finally - a real question


    Anybody know what the going rate to build a house right now a square? And when they say x per square, does that include the garage assuming it's not heated nor cooled?

    OK, so sue me, it was two real questions.

    Are you the general contractor? If so, you'll save around 20-30%. Alot of headaches though. As far as price per square foot, it just depends on how extravagant you want to go. Anywhere from $75-$110 a square foot depending.

    I saw a Crappie camp for sale near Holiday Lodge for $6000.00 the other day. If IS has finally decided to rid herself of you, this will prolly be your best option! She ain't gonna leave you with enough to build a new house! Bwahahahaha!

    That's weird......Speck gave a straight answer. Hoodathunkit. Then, DD followed up with a real answer too. Hoodathunkit squared.

    Did the earth just tilt off it's axis or sump'n?

    I keep hearing right now is the time to build - hungry builders, cheap materials and I keep having people throw out 50 to 75 for builders grade and 75 - 85 mid grade. Makes me go hmmmmm.

    Saw that camp Feelay. Is was all over it till I showed her a pic, then she was out and sent me the text about the fishfinders. I guess she thought she'd distract me with the cheap shiney object. She don't know the camp could be cheaper does she.

    My step-daughter and her husband built one about 6 months ago for about 85.00 a foot but he was the general contractor.

    I'd say those prices are kinda low for a completed home. If you could do one for that, it would be a heck of a deal.
