re: Lumber prices anyone building new Const

Even at double the cost of wood I doubt it’s even close. A lot of cost is labor and time. I don’t regret doing it the first time. It’s just a cost you can’t recoup. You won’t even see any kind of reduction in insurance. It’s like they didn’t even give a shite that I put in the extra effort. I put best of best windows and doors. Marvin. But you have to put the sound glass. I didnt and did on my new house. Much better. I think it’s much better for colder temp than Louisiana. I find that I the winter it would never get cold. It would take so long for the cold to get into the house.

I helped install when I did mine. It sucked balls. It was me and a guy and his son who was young and just out the marines. We would start at 5 am and couldn’t work past 1-2 in the afternoon. You would bake on the concrete. The blocks I used originally were gray. But they switched to white when I did my house. It was like being in a heat igloo. Plus we came back and cut windows and doors so there was no vent.
