Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ya, this lumber shortage, sawmills may be unable to keep up, but i think demand is the cause of the shortage.
I asked the one delivery guy, said this spring was the busiest he has ever seen. Hes been workin in the same yard for 30 years or more. Construction all over,so many new contractors in the area as well. They prefer rural/ remote areas now. Lower risk and more money.
yep its crazy. But I'm hoping I found the solution. It's just getting the wife on board. A complete steel framed post frame building, we'd have to sacrifice the basement but we could get a 6400 ft post frame for 52k customize, insulated to residential coding, actually slighter better than code, for another 12k. figured 14k in concrete and about 10 more for all the plumbling and electric. for about 90,000 for the structure. Another 30k in inside furnishings and walls. so call it move in ready at 120,000. Less than a 1/3 of what our original plans were quoted at.
