House Renovation 2016

Postby Crazyswede » Mon Feb 08, 2016 10:24 am

So in light of spending all my time at either my weekday job or working on my house during the weekend....I figured I'd do a random thoughts thread on building a house.

After purchasing in September and doing general teardown all fall we started doing the real work in December and have worked every Saturday and Sunday since.

I've seen some of the photos of your place on face book . I build my home mostly alone during 1977-1979. I worked 4 ten hour days in a repair shop and spent 3 days straight working on the house. I was 30 years old at the time. Almost made me crazy after 2 years and I was still finishing details 20 years later. But I built the place with a $20,000 mortgage. I even had an old hoe and loader like you do and I did the septic system and all the back fill.
You will learn a lot and will be pleased with your self for many years to come.
