[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1620466, member: 17956"] I bought my place in 1989. I was 18 years old. It had no buildings, no fences, and hadn't been bushhogged in 12-15 years. Took me several years, and a ton of work to make it a farm. A tornado came through in 2006, and erased it all. Still don't consider myself built back. Long story short, I have quit a bit of experience building. First off, what ever dollar figure you have in mind for building something, add a minimum of 25%. 50% may be a more realistic number. I would add, new stuff gets old someday. Everything on my place is 10-14 years old. Everything on my place, is in a constant state of repair. I'm on my second set of hay equipment, My house has had new HVAC, and two roofs, i could repair fence for days, and never see the end, no end to spreading rock, the list goes on and on. Your new place wil be a big old pain the rear someday, is what I'm saying, and it may even start out that way. [/QUOTE]
