    I've really tossed around the idea of building something sized, and in a way, that it could be easily moved to a different property later.

    Getting the roof on and weathered in are great milestones. Unfortunately you're not even half done. "Finishing" takes forever!

    When "she" says its finished, then it's finished. Not before.

    If I could have gotten a full basement poured for $20k I would have jumped on it. The best price I got for a 45'x45' stem wall was $22k so I decided to do pier blocks instead. It was a lot more work but now my finished foundation cost me less than $4000. I'll spend the other $18000 somewhere else

    Hi, I found this in this forum and saved for myself.

    HOW MUCH THE CONSTRUCTION?
    Size = 35x35 2-story, engineered roof, ICF crawlspace foundation with a finished back porch.
    Total cost = $93,750
    PRE CONSTRUCTION = $2400 (LHBA class, plans, drafting, copies)
    PERMITS = $2872
    FOUNDATION = $7135
    TOOLS = $1544 (includes tool rental)
    FUEL = $800
    LABOR = $2335 (basic labor like log peeling, nails, etc)
    LOGS = $4500 (108 logs delivered in 2 loads)
    FRAMING = $10,336 (includes board/batten for gable ends and fascia)
    ROOF = $14740 (SIP roof, metal finish)
    SEPTIC = $10,900
    CHINKING = $400
    DOORS = $2150 (3 exterior, 13 interior)
    WINDOWS = $3306 (13 each)
    PLUMBING = $4500 (rough in and finish)
    ELECTRICAL = $2810 (rough in and finish
    DRYWALL = $2600 (includes $1130 labor)
    CABINETS/COUNTERS = $6250 (iKea kitchen)
    PAINT = $725
    FLOORING = $7500
    FINISH HARDWARE = $472 (handle sets, knobs, etc)
    FINISH SUPPLIES = $1750 (includes cork ceiling)
    WOOD STOVE = $850 ( pipe and supplies, I already had the stove)
    PORCHES = $1375
    MISC = $1500 (figured I'd better add something for the things I missed!)

    I hope it helps.
    Good luck!

    I plan on doing the labor myself with alittle help, so 20k should cover the costs of the ICFs, gravel, footer forms, rebar, excavation, drain tile, and concrete. I'll hire some pro's to do the basement slab. I hate concrete and drywall finishing with a passion of 1000 fiery suns.
