calcuation of cost

[nachoman]

I have always wanted to build a small 28 hr stockyard , I finaly got the plan drawen out for a 16 car faculty app. (14"by 25") in ho a 4 car unlodaing ramp with two rows on holding pens also a small office/bunk house and a hay yard. the shock came when i added up the cost for the material almost 60$ us just fo the evergreen order 16 packages of scale 2by6es for a start . was just wondering how many of you have started a project and abondned it because of cost?

If you wait until the e-mag comes out, I wrote an article about just this subject

Hint - there are cheaper materials besides evergreen styrene. I have cut down plastic "for sale" signs, and am cutting down some paint stirring sticks for building a roundhouse.
