What are you guys seeing to construction costs in your part of the country?
Are they coming down at all due to the lousy economy? I want to put an
addition on the house am wondering if now is the time to pull the trigger on
it.
I am in the northeast. Thanks.

If I were you, I would wait awhile as I believe the economy is in the
process of a slow acting depression and eventually you will find that
things are going to reach Grand Cayon size. Just a matter of time.
Perhaps after the election.

Labor you might get a deal, but dont forget material prices will be
going alot higher for a long time, 125 a barrel oil has to filter its
way down the chain. Who knows, plan on utilites doubling as fast as
they are allowed to raise prices, we may be in just the start of a
crash. High energy will break alot of folks with real hurt only
starting to impact everyone with electric rate and next winters NG
price increases

Don't forget anything made outside of USA, or if the price is determined by
an outside currency, it will cost more because the US dollar has lost 1/3 of
its international value.

Agreed. I am spending my 'tax rebate' check and refund on the economy by
employing laborers and getting a USA made sunroom addition. Energystar too.
Labor just now is a good deal as construction has slowed.
