re: How Much Cheaper Would A Home Be If The Owner Built It Themselves?

My step-dad and mom built their house almost 100% by themselves. Milled their own lumber and siding, built their own cabinets.....i think they bought the hardwoods from a surplus shop and hired a guy to install. Took them a few years. I’d bet there are plenty of things not exactly up to code....but its a nice place, simple design. Power was already run to the old trailer that was on the property.
