Seller may have had a similar “surprise” and wants to unload the liability.

We bought some Lumber Liquidators flooring for the same project and sent it back because it felt like fine sandpaper.The worst thing to me is subfloor prep.

The trailer is actually better for carrying drywall, plywood, lumber than the box of the truck was (wheels are outside the box and it has a drop axle).If we are getting a lot of material (2 lifts of drywall last week), then the supply places all deliver for free.Here in Canada, the CRA has some "peculiar" rules around vehicle deductions and rental income.

If I hear of anyone looking to unload a SF home in the area I'll let you know.

The cost of framing lumber, OSB plywood and other wood building materials are adding an average of $36,000 to the cost of a new build, an April study showed -- and costs have kept rising.

I GCd my project, honestly less than 15 hours a week lining up materials, getting answers, unloading dumpsters, sweeping, periodically jumping in with a sub to help, buying pizzas on Fridays lol.

However, you can sometimes find a special circumstance with a house that is not selling for some reason or with an investor who is unloading a portfolio and has some flexibility in terms of how much cash he or she needs up front.

@Jon Dorsey - I've tried this on a few occasions, my experience was that the mills around here are very specific on the size and straightness of the raw lumber. 

Before saying hello, he started unloaded an extension ladder from the back of the truck to climb up on the roof.

The best combination of quality and price was to work direct through a local lumber yard.
