Well, I know it's the wrong time of the year to start this, but I am just starting the planning right now. I was just at the lumber yard and they put together a quote for me to build an 8 X 12 house. Here's the recipe...
2 8' 4X4 all weather wood $9.40 ea.
2 12' 4X4 all weather wood $14.10 ea.
8 sheets 1" white styrofoam (R-4) $8.49 ea.
60 econo 2x4 studs $ 1.29 ea.
6 26X96" Alsynite (plastic stuff for roof)$16.00 ea.
10 sheets 7/16" OSB plywood $14.38 ea.
Grand total before hardware and taxes: $417.96
I don't need this thing to be plush (If I find a deal on a door or a couple windows, great, otherwise no biggie)
Where can these plans be tweeked for better economy or to make a better fish house?
Would love to hear from those who have been there, done this.
(Prices are in Canadian funds. Multiply the price by .84 to get an accurate US value)
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
