Have you ever thought that it might be fun to build your own home? Well, whether you want tips and advice to help you along on your project or you just want to live vicariously through someone that is working toward that goal, head on over to how to build house. They are beginning their journey and are documenting their progress.
They have laid out the backstory and have written about their current situation. It seems that they have completely finished the basement of thier current house, and they also do other projects around their house like landscaping and deck building. The way they go into detail these past projects makes you understand where they're coming from.
The big deal, though, is their owner builder project. So far, we know that they have actuired land to build on. They also tidied up the land, which is shown in some of their pictures. It looks like a very pretty place, so it will be interesting to follow along and see what comes of it.
I wonder how much time it'll take. something like this could take anywhere from six months to a bunch of years depending on how quickly they work. Is it going to become a full-time job or just a free-time project? We don't know yet. Maybe they don't even know yet. If they're actually doing things mostly by themselves, they haven't done it previously, and they have "real" jobs to go to each day, it could take a long while finish. In any case, joining along with them should turn out to be quite a ride.
If learning about building your own house appeals to you, this website is recommended. They seem like regular people that want to try their hand at home building. It's unclear if they will be their own general contractor or if they'll do some of the work themselves and hire general contractor to oversee the project. Who knows? What is clear is that it will be educational to follow along as they learn how to build house.
