yet another expensive I was completely caught off guard with is trim!!!!.....this is crazy to me. Both amounts of wood cost 800 each. Top pick is red oak 3/4 t and g flooring 2.81 a sqft(happy to pay it). Bottom is poplar and pine some pre primed cheap stuff trying to save time and was hoping money as well for cheaper materials going into my kids section of the house. I feel my wallet has been violated looking at the bottom picture.... building a boat house,,,,bust out another thousand what the fuk...

I heard on wowo this morning this countrys housing is heading for a crisis. Existing homes are falling in disrepair due to everything that's happened with the economy especially since covid. They said lower income earners used to have a tad extra and maintained property at least somewhat. I know around me personally a lot of nice country homes have become shit holes. Thankfully I'm not way to many grands away from finishing my train wreck of a project.

Add that with all the new housing that was built for refugees...we have an entire large group of people who live off the government that has cut spending.
