  My fiance and I are doing it ourselves. It’s a tiny house and he has a few years of construction experience. We had to learn a lot on the fly, but it hasn’t collapsed yet! Seriously though I bet you can do it, especially with a few mates.

    I won’t lie, I am intrigued my tiny homes. But I somehow have negative construction experience lol.

    Yep, that was my take on it as well. Have a few friends over every other weekend or so, some work, then lunch, beer (on me of course) and then do some more work.

    I have very little building experience, but I was thinking of consulting people and YT videos, as well as people online for specific things. Heck, it can’t be that hard. I mean, I’ve seen construction workers work, it’s not rocket science. Sure, I might get some things wrong, but it should be a lot cheaper in the end, compared to the price of a house.

      Building code is close to rocket science. Or maybe voodoo… Building a house is pretty simple, but a code inspector will come up with 2,000 odd little things you didn’t do. A clip here, a gap there…

        I know, I was planning on researching that as well make a list of the most common problems inspectors find.

        Plus I can always “grease” things a little bit… a coffee and some snacks when they come 😁.

      That’s some positive thinking, confidence is one of the biggest hurdles. Best of luck if you try, friends definitely would speed up the process.

  House or teeth?

    In this economy, yes.

    Wish it didn’t have to be a question. Heck I can remember when dental was somewhat commonplace with jobs, but unions are sadly a rarity.
