1. you can do everything yourself, but with little experience it could some time. Roof trusses = Frago Truss Co. draw them to code, hand them the napkin, they hand you a roof. dont try that on your own.
   a) electrical, plumbing, and rough framing are the only things you have to have inspected

2. building permits can be expensive and pretty much the only thing to worry about

3. I am living in number 6 and it will appraise for roughly 2 times what has been spent on it... so yes, doing it on your own is a good idea.

4. If you are seriously thinking of building your own I would recommend having the foundation poured, the exterior walls trucked in, and the whole house sheathed. This way you will have an enclosed structure to begin with(wont have to worry about getting the 10k dollars worth tools stolen or rained on).

from there you should be able to handle finishing the house
btw i know a real good drywall guy.. and hes cheap:)

Or, ill just build it for you We have been looking at doing our own from the ground up the next time around.

give me a price for anything over 2000 sq/feet

My dad and I do wiring if you are interested. We can do all of the wiring in the house from the 120 outlets to the cable to the phone. Let me know if you are interested.

as in new construction or an old house that needs to be updated? I would love to see a house that is unfinished. All I ever see is homes that the basement is not done.
