I am on the downward spiral of finishing up my 3800 sq. ft. home. It is 5 bedroom, 5 bath, large kitchen, large living room, office, and huge bonus room. I am coming in around the $125 per sq. ft. area. It also has a 2800 sq. ft. basement with a 9' x 48' walk in vault with 10" concrete walls and ceiling. The garage is about 1200 sq. ft. I went custom on about everything from the cabinets to the master walk in shower to my wives 12' x 12' walk in closet, she did let me buy a new dresser. The only things I subed were the foundation, insulation, drywall and brick. I did hire a frame crew to help me get it under roof quickly, but they were off the payroll when we finished laying the last of the 80 squares of shingles. This is our dream home and hope it stays in the family for generations to come. If I had hired all the work to be done it would have been around the $175 per sq. ft. neighborhood. Which is about what the insurance company said is replacement cost. I just wonder why the tax assessor thinks it was twice this amount???
