I need to build (replace) a couple of old shooting houses but WOW. Just priced it and its about double what I spent on one a couple of years ago.
Anyone have an educated guess when prices may come down some? Im hoping for a mild hurricane season, I may be hunting in a couple of spots from an overturned 5 gallon bucket.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I was going to stick build a shop. I went with metal for this very reason.

Within a 5 mile radius of my 20 I'd estimate there are 50-75 new houses a month going up. Also land being prepped for 100's more.

Was going to bring it up on your shed thread due to lumber prices. Go with steel trusses, there only around $8 a foot.

I was going to stick build a shop. I went with metal for this very reason. I was told the other day the building cost of some patio homes are hovering around $145 a ft. A friend built his house years ago out of steel when prices were way down. Cost wasn’t hat much more at the time. Best decision he made he says. No termites etc. it’s one of the newer homes overlooking O'Neal Bridge.

Family bought a wood mizer to build 6-7 shooting houses. We have more timber than money.

We have been gathering logs to put on it when it gets here. Still have 5 big white oaks that we have to get out of a creek bottom. The boys and I are excited. Jeremy

Yes it is. Still the builder's property until it is hauled off. I got a few 4x4 posts a few years ago but I called and got permission before I removed them from the dumpster.
