>>2960752No but i've built a good amount of houses at work from the ground up. I want to build my own house one day. Actually looking at a block of land right now that i might buy and build a house on.
>>2960752when i was homeless i built a primitive cabin innawoods , does that count?
>>2960752Built a room addition to mine, from foundation to roof.
>>2960797Same here, I've built other people's houses but not my own yet
Yes
I'm another yes. 500 ish sq ft. it's often frustrating and not worth it to post about it on here and /out/ as well unless answering a very specific question or something.inbred armchair reacionists with nothing better to do just shit up the threads where anyone actually making it posts anything by picking out something stupid, barelty relevant and not letting it go searching for reactionsyou gotta want it. im 36, no banks or loans are involved, but its possible
>>2962951I'm the anon above you. Very similar. 640sqft, built on parent's land (which was on their loan) then paid off the loan and bought if from them. It's cozy. 1st child's on the way. I hope it's enough space for the next few years.
>>2960797>>2961740Add another to the pile..But I've also built alternative structures that were lived in by myself and others.PROTIP: Geodesic domes really kind of SUCK to live in.>>2961509By my book, yeah, it counts.>>2962951Good for you, anon. While I sure don't want a plebbitard hugbox, it seems the nuvohomo assholes think that this place was always just trolling and shitpoasting, due to all the flameb0ts, shills and everything from the last what is it , 8 years, 9 years, 10?>>2963006BASEDI have been a staunch advocate here and other venues of anons doing this. Just like with an economy of scale, the same is possible with land, equipment and people with skills and ability.
>>2960752Finishing up a 1400 sqft addition solo except electric What do you want to know
>>2960752My dad andalotof people in the country I was bornbuilt houses all the time My dad built a lot of his brother's house who was working abroad,And my dad was a high school biology teacher Not really a big deal
>>2963053>Not really a big dealIn our parent's generation homebuilding was a lot simpler than it is now. Less inspections, simpler engineering requirements, simpler materials... not saying it's impossible now but the houses we build now are a lot different to those of 50 years ago
>>2963082Whats different other than cheaper shittier materials.Old houses are not cheap. Its all built for artifical scarcity of investor class.You can live 100 year old house but you cant build the same thing today because of "safety". Its a laughable concept.
>>2963006nice. 2017/18 i stumbled into a building that was set to be demolished so the foundation could be re-used. it was a 3 story stick frame unfinished barn/garage attached to a small house. Permission was granted basically immediately when I asked to take it apart and some pretty deep soul searching followed. I got about 2 stories, the roof, and a lot of interior before the excavators came.My ex sued me in 2021 for my house i bought with her, I built my current house during covid while i defended myself till they settled and paid me, finished the septic this year. every time i post about it people give me shit for "taking so long"worthless fuckin place, largelybut occasionally theres like an ok thread or two. mostly come here just to be mean so i can be nice to people irl.
>>2960752fortunately not, its a bitch ass job.but i have done every part of it. me and my family doubled the size of our cabin, i tore down and rebuildt my apartment, i have worked in construction, i have done it all. building a house is kind of a common skill for norwegian rurals, its straight out expected of you to know it. you might not be the best at anything, you might be a framer kind of guy, but your friends might be roofer or plumber and together you finish a house in a week.house i currently live in was self-buildt in the late 50s and im gonna rebuild it all with time.
four chan says im doing the captcha wrong and it's lying
>>2962951Here's a specific question:With the intention of cutting costs, which tasks in house-building could an average guy do, and which tasks should be left to professionals?
