Here is a question for Rudy and/or any others about barn costs.
I customer of mine, has a friend who lost a barn to a fire caused by a lightning strike. He (the friend) intends to rebuild a 20’x50’ barn, using timbers milled from logs harvested from his own ten acre site/land.
He (the former customer) is asking me how much will his friend will save by using his own timber.
I said that the materials costs for the timber frame should be ½ to 2/3s less than if he purchased these timbers.
So here’s the question: “does this sound right to you?”
