building a house in Playa del Rey CA.........the cost of the lumber used in building a typical entry-level home had roughly doubled in 18 months, to $24,000.
The typical entry level home on the coast of California averages around $400,000 these days. $24,000 is nothing compared to the prices they charge. Being the owner of a redwood timber preserve, I'm seriously considering a limited harvest.
