As the summer wears on, the economic forecast for the near and long-terms calls for fiscal storms of Noah-like proportions.
What does that mean to us?
That means that our attempts at a dirt.cheap.build could not come at a better time. Our method and manner of exploring ways to cut building costs could quickly become the norm, not the exception.
The link connected to the title of this piece can direct you to more information.
Other news (since I've not posted in a few weeks):
1.) The land is gravy. We are exploring ways of carving out a thru-way into the property that will not arouse suspicion of the local permit-granting authorities while at the same time allowing access for work to commence.
2.) Recent cheap/free finds include cove base trim (Craigslist--my home away from home!), more 5 gallon buckets (thanks to contractor Gerald Robertson), and two French doors (curb alert whilst driving through a nice neighborhood). The French doors have some issues, but they can be solved for much less time/money than new ones would cost!
3.) I think I need a larger shed!
More, soonest.
