$3 in 1876 is about $50 now according to a query on
http://eh.net/hmit/compare/
using the Consumer Price Index option --
about 40 bf of pine @ $3.80/bf
(If my math head is on the beam and the pricing is typical)
is about $160 for wood, and add the nails and such ...
Maybe wood prices will come back down before I decide to build
one of these ;-)
