For all those who are thinking about one day doing something like this I know you are interested in what this kind of thing costs, so... I just updated my spreadsheet this morning and total costs so far are:
Foundation: $3,700 Carpentry: $16,200
Since I met my goal of getting everything to this point for under $20k
That includes everyone on the job site a cash bonus and extra bonus payment we made to the contractors above the original "Not to exceed" price we agreed to, because Mrs. Irish and I felt they all deserved it and it was simply the right thing to do.
If anyone needs some good carpentry or foundation work done around Cherokee or DeKalb counties shoot me a PM and I can get you set-up with some good, reasonably priced guys.
After today, it will all be Mrs. Irish and I. I've got to get together a huge "things to do list..."
