build a house

I want to build my own house with my hands. Help is not preferred, but I using help as sparingly as possible. I have been researching the prefabricated homes, kit homes, and other simplistic forms of building—anything to make it easier.

Since I’m a realtor, finding land and completing feasibility report should be relatively easy. I do have some building experience most of it is in remodeling and repairs. I am very motivated because of the prices of homes where I live; Orlando, Florida.

It was enlightening.

I can’t wait

I’ve wanted to build my own home for years. For a while I wanted to be an architect and then an interior designer. I love architecture and green design and want to build some strange dwelling that is environmentally friendly. Gotta love your mama earth.

My husband and I just started to build our own home! It is so exciting and cool to watch how everything comes together. A learning experience to say the least. I’m not sure why everyone says building a home is stressful on your marriage? SO far I’m counting my blessings. Hopefully it will be done in six months. I’ll make that a goal! More info on ownerbuilderbook.com look on the left hand side its called ‘the ridges’.

But it’s still going… it’s been a long process but definitely a labor of love. Been updating the blog: hill-house.blogspot.com

So moving out of your parents home and building you own home must be one of the key stages in a persons life. What a statment it is to have your own home, and to have built it from the ground up.

Yes I know it can be stressfull and hard work but in the end it must be worth it. I think it should be a goal of every man.

hi everyone this is jasmin and i never done this before

When I first started working in the new housing construction business, it seemed very easy to slap together homes seeing as how nobody ever builds custom homes anymore (not true). But very little has changed in the fundamentals of home construction over the years so applying such vast amounts of new technology from computer graphics design concepts to the machinery itself, makes things just that much more easy and freaking difficult at the same time, I want to build within the next 6 years or so when I feel I have all the necessary information to do so. Knowledge is power!

This may well be a long time coming but we have the plot!
