Hey, Any Of You Home Contruction Guys Out There

I've heard basements are the cheapest square footage to build in a house. 

As far as equity goes, they also dont equal the same $$$'s as above ground square footage. I think it is something like 1/2 or 1/3..... ask a realtor

I'd trust a member of congress before I'd trust a realtor.

I'm just saying refer to them for what it actually is.  $ per sq ft is calculated different for basements

I'm pretty sure they are the ones that got us into the housing mess we are in now, by giving out that info.

Rastus, the last I heard concrete was going about $100 to $110 a yard. Winter 2008 when we built the barn concrete was $90 a yard.

$85 a yard was an advertised price on the internet from Tulsa....mix with water onsite.  It's basically a hopper trailer or truck of dry mix...I don't know if that will work or would be wise when trying to pour walls.  I would think that with the lack of activity in homebuilding we'll see some price constriction for a while.

Rastus, you gonna get this house built or just sit around jawing about it all day?...........

Just talking for now.  Lots of hurdles....the first was getting the wife on board.  Accomplished.  2nd will be to tie the sale of my house to the property purchase (and getting them down 10% on the land)....there is 2-4 weeks worth of work to do on that getting the house in shape to proceed.  3rd would be to sell the house.  4th is a big deal that overshawdows....stable job.  I'm working now but would be more confident working somewhere else....I'm in a zoo of yes men right now and I tell it straight so there is some tension at work.  Having lunch with a former co-worker to try to glass this one over pretty quick....we'll see.

Amen brother.  I dunno, wait a minute and let me think about that one.
