    Can you keep a rolling itemized cost sheet for those of us interested in following in your footsteps?

        Materials so far. The goal for foundation up to the point of Sub floor is 10% of full build cost. So far I'm sitting pretty good.

        (43) 4x6x10 Treated for Post and Beams $990.72
        (42) Sacks of 80# Conc Mix $200.79
        (64) 2x8x12 Pine for Floor Joist $540.67
        (4) 2x8x20 Pine for Outside Floor Joist $64.77
        (30) 4x8 Tongue and Groove Sub Floor $779.18

        Foundation Total $2576.13

            Fastener costs? (Screws, nails, optional straps/hangers?) That is the one that always seems to get me... even on the smallest of projects where I don't sue straps/hangers.

              True! I still have 2 boxes of 3" screws and framing nails leftover from past jobs. Guess that would need to be thrown in. Lol

                  You plan on doing flat(ish) roof or some type of gable/pitch roof?
                  How high will the ceiling/walls be?

                    Gable roof. Somewhere between 8/12-12/12 pitch.

                    Just unloaded sub floor. Already sweating my tail off!

                      Something like this. Just imagine no chimney or dormers.

                              At a stopping point for a week or so. Will cover with plastic tomorrow and start framing in a couple weeks. Hard part is complete!

                              Main thing to know here is stagger the tongue and groove sub floor. Other than that really nothing to it. I normally would use ring shanked nails with nailer but still didn't bring generator. Used 2.5" deck screws. Feels good to be elevated looking over the pond view!
