In Reply to: OT Building my own house posted by Case e on February 04, 2012 at 06:49:08:

I built my home in 1999/2000, It took me 10 months.
My home is 2500 sq. feet, ranch on a block crawl. I worked my azz off.
I hired a crew to dig/pour the footings and lay the block.
I hired a crew to frame the house.
I hired an HVAC guy to put in the furnace and duct work.
I hired 2 guys to run the rough electric.
I hired a buddy to roof the house.
I hired out the rough plumbing.
I hired a crew to do all the drywall, hang and mud.
I hired an excavator to put in the septic.
I put in all the window and doors, I did the final electric and final plumbing, I did all the wood work, all the painting...What a 8itch that was. Exterior wood siding too. (50 gallons of Behr paint stain) I put in all the hardwood floors, I hired out the carpet. I put in all the insulation, walls and ceiling. I put in all the kitchen cabinets and bath cabinets. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths by the way.
It cost me a fortune too......With the land, and the garage which was built in late 2000 after I moved in it was $250,000 or there abouts.
I saved a pile of money by doing a lot myself but.....It was great doing it and I wish I had done many things different. The trades have taken a beating with the housing market all wrecked. If you know guys that will work for cheaper than the going rate than do it.
Chime back in if you want to know what I paid for some of the labor on the trades.
