Should we be building things like this?

I don't like a cut-up roof, no matter the economy. Just begging for leaks.

But that's not what you were getting at I know.

Sure

If someone has the cash, let em build. That helps the economy. When you say "we" I guess that includes me. I would not build anything like that in a good economy, just not who I am I guess. Lol

I am turning down work. Looks to me like paying people more than they earned while working encourages them to stay unemployed. I know I have a tendency to go where I get paid best.

Why not?

We are still building like crazy

I'm swamped with work.

you aren't getting a contractor here right now.

Yeah why not

Someone s loss will be someone s Deal

Well... it is the LOW 500's. At least they are not going wild and starting at the mid 500's

Yes please.

Does it float ??

Building that home puts a host of various builders to work, creates some home furnishings sales occur, and all the extras like landscapers, the services to that home like electrical, garbage, etc. etc. and taxes. I say keep the $ flowing and economy chugging along. If the owners can afford to build, please do.

I would not want a house like that for free but if the owners want it and can afford it I think its a great thing for local work as JabNE said.

Low 500’s mean 800,000 by the time it is completed.

I just listed my place in the upper 500s, so I hope there is some buyers out there.

to big for me
