Vacation Property House Plans

I got a text from Rod W to tell me that all the snow is melted and the lot is ready soon. So kicking myself into gear I contacted the lumberyard on the Logix ICF, well that has gone up 18% since the fall and will be end of April so better get my order in. Up to 8 weeks for pick up, must be pretty busy in Acheson.View attachment 254756

Building Supplies are going up daily now, can't even get quotes on stuff because they don't know what the price will be tomorrow

Just paid for my shop trusses, they went up 50% in price since January

My truss price was $1800 less than last spring, Lumber prices were very high, but that was in the fall when they requoted. Ill check again may have to just order them and have them delivered to the site early. Put on pallets and tarp over. Bought most of my plumbing pipe, wire, electrical panel, heating lines.

Update on this. Due to the town suddenly giving the go ahead for other lots in town to put up mobile homes without asking land owners for there input until there in place I have decided to down grade my house. I am just going to put something around 1000 - 1100 sf and keep it simple and cheap. The mobile homes were put up and then are now for sale, at the price there asking good luck. I have invested approximately 28K in to the other project but I don't feel the street warrants the house I was originally planning. I am in the design and planning stage again.

50 years and is in mint condition,,, its out lived 2 care takers...

A little ruff on the out side but its practical since it has everything a human requires...

Wood stove,,, oil lamps ,,, no sticking power or gas bill,,, can use all year long,,, and mostly over everything else...

Quiet and peaceful since theres no humans back there...

Dam thing even has a wood plank floor of all things...

This is a first class Palace compared too living in a cave...

Think the town would be sending me some notices, but thanks for the advise.
Am looking at at simple plans though need to run a few by the draftsperson as I still want a patio door out the back (South) as it faces Canoe Mountain and south. Or I sell the lot and buy in fowlerland 2 subdivisions over.
