Budget Home Build!!!

I got my carpentry book from Amazon in today. This thread was super inspiring. I’m looking forward to reading through the book and honing some skills and learning new ones.

I’m sure I missed it due to the fact I was just looking at pictures but what was your total cost in material?

I still love this thread.

How’d your two DIY homes do last week in the single digit temps? Heat, plumbing, etc.

They did great! We never lost power at either location. Had very low water pressure for 12 hrs from supplier running out of water but we managed. House in this thread had a cii oh hole PTraps freeze up for 2 days, my house PTraps froze even with antifreeze in the line. Refrigerator ice maker line froze and busted on my house at 3pm Saturday. $2.74 fix and we were good.

I even come back to this thread often to look back at everything. Hard to believe it was already going on 3 yrs come May!

Great to hear (read)!

Awesome thread. I bet you couldn’t build it for that now. Lumber has gone pure stupid.

I guess either this thread or the rona drove the price of this book up cause the cheapest I’ve found is about $38 for the 2003 version. Anybody found one recently?

Yes I bought one and going to list it. I'll have to check what edition
