Have you ever thought that it might be neat to build your own house?  Well, whether you want tips and motivation to help you along on your way or you just want to live vicariously through a couple that is working toward that goal, head on over to how to build house.  These guys are starting their journey and are documenting it all.

They have laid out the backstory and have filled us in on their current situation.  It seems that they have completely finished the basement of thier current dwelling.  Of course, they also do other projects around there like landscaping and deck building.  The way they describe these past projects makes you understand where they’re coming from.

The big project, though, is their diy construction project.  So far, we know that they have bought land to build on.  They also removed all the dead trees from the land, which is shown in some of their images.  It looks like a beautiful place, so it will be interesting to ride along and see how it actually turns out.

I’m curious how long it will take. something like this could take anywhere from six months to a bunch of years depending on how hard they push it.  Will it going to be a full-time job or just a free-time project?  We don’t know yet.  Maybe they don’t even know yet.  If they are actually doing things mostly by themselves, they have yet to do it before, and they’ve got other jobs to work at during the day, it could take a long while complete.  In any case, riding along with them should turn out to be quite a ride.

If educating yourself about building your own house is appealing to you, this website is recommended.  They seem like regular folks that want to try their hand at home building.  It’s unclear if they will be their own general contractor or if they’ll do some of the work on their own and hire someone else to oversee the project.  Who knows?  What is known is that it will be educational to follow along as they learn how to build house.
