Has anyone out there built their own house? I'm talking about doing it all yourself from renting the excavation equipment for the foundation construction to framing the walls, drywalling, wiring, furnace and or fireplace. Everything with your own two hands.
Using your own sweat equity to create a real estate asset?
I'd also be interested to hear about any alternative methods such as using post and beam, timber frame, logs, cord wood etc.
I'm struggling with taking on more mortgage debt at the age of 47 to have someone build me a home, and doing it myself while I'm employed on a shift work job.
Any advice would be helpful.
