I actually built my house 33 yrs ago. Framed all the walls, and set them, Installed all the windows and doors, Roofed it myself. I framed the outside walls with 2X6's and used R19 insulation. Used high performance Anderson windows and sliders. Was worried about heat pumps in this area, so I used two systems, One up, one down. Took me about a year to complete the job, while I was still working everyday. Had the house appraised after I moved in. Couldn't believe how much I saved by doing it all myself....

Same here Mitch, but I built a cottage compared to your home, 2 1/2 tun heat pump heats my little place on the hill, My sons and I built it and had friends help with the rafters, I cooked on the grill as they stayed busy, Mikie and Creed help hang the sheet rock but I did all the finish work, I did all the electrical myself and helped hang the commercial siding (Glad I did the commercial siding ) We love it, less is more type thing :lol:
