<font color="blue"> Dang near everything will need to be custom milled. </font>
Yep, I priced it all and it's table saw and router DIY. A lot of the moulding I can't duplicate or have milled (no planer knives available) and all has to be replaced.

A barn is a different story and wouldn't be lived in. It can be a real trial living in a construction site for a while. Big difference in wiring, plumbing, asthetics, etc. also Time is really the problem. To rebuild economically, it has to be DIY. If one has a job, he spends off time building (and farming in my case) The time involved in being the one man crew and not spent with family is expensive and irreplaceable.
Nice job on the barn.
