(that included the completed foundation, windows, most of the framing, septic and building permits). Basically I started with a bunch of framed up lumber on a foundation. The $45k was to finish it with roofing, doors, siding, deck, plumbing, electrical, furnace, insulation, sheet rock, etc etc.) I bought the land, and initial framed up structure for $100k.

Did I read correctly --- it cost a total of $45K for the lake home? How did you manage to do it for such a reasonable price? I'm looking at lake property in our area --- and the foundation alone is going to run $12-$15K. Any advice for someone just starting out? From experience, what pitfalls should we watch out for? Many thanks! Looking forward to catching up on all your posts! -Net Worth Congrats!!! Did I read correctly — it cost a total of $45K for the lake home?

I'm definitely looking forward to using the heck out of this place this summer. We spent our first weekend there since getting occupancy and it was great. The rest of our family came up and used the house right behind us (the family cabin) so it was finally great to all be there at once. We had lots of fun with my nephews and our daughter was thrilled to have them up there overnight! Thanks for the comments everyone!

I haven't followed your lake house story (though I plan to catch up) entirely, but the end result looks beautiful! I especially like the flooring. Congratulations on this accomplishment!

Simply beautiful. I love the flooring and the recessed lighting. It's amazing how much $$$ you can come up with when you really need it. It's been a good ride following your progress on this entire project! Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love the flooring and the recessed lighting.
