What $133 looks like

I am meticulously keeping track of every penny that goes into this tiny house.

I've placed a few big orders for delivery, the biggest being $1,959 which constituted most of my lumber and plywood for framing the whole house, plus other random adhesives, spray foam, poly, even a pocked door kit... so the price was to be expected:

But there are other times when I go to the store and leave with a couple small bags and a receipt for a mind boggling price.

Today, this is what $133 looked like:

Spray foam, adhesive, screws, nails, various brackets, jig saw blades, hurricane ties and some drill bits.  The biggest expense is the nails, which I may have overpaid for at $28.99 for 1200 spiral nails.  (6d, 2", hot galvanized.)

Don't underestimate the time you will spend shopping.  The time I spend planning & shopping easily matches the time I spend actually building.  I'll be heading to a different store later to see if I can get a better deal on nails!
