So, I was supposed to build a house this year. I just finished phase one (well, septic, roads, and drainage) and am ready to start the actual build.
With gas prices, inflation, supply-chain issues etc. it looks like the worst time in history to build something.
I just read that Shanghai has been in total lockdown and this will disrupt the supply chain for many items including copper.
So that's the background and I am thinking about going out today and buying
1500 ft. 14/2,
250 f.t 14/3 and
250 ft.12/2 wire just because it takes up little space and doubt it will ever come down in price in the next 18 months.
Anyone have other thoughts or ideas? I know others here have more experience with home building.
