The book and this site have been very valuable tools for me throughout the whole process. I knew nothing of owner-building a home prior to this and had not even planned on doing it until I was forced to with the loss of my other house, so I had to learn everything and learn it quick. The book and this site helped me thru it all. You really can't do enough planning. 1,000 hours is not enough.

Central PA

Posted to Heart-of-PA by Patrick in Lewistown, PA on 8/31/2007 9:11:50 AM

Hello all and thanks for looking at my journal. This is my first build for specifically me. I have been in construction since '91, but the commercial side. In '01 an accident left me wheelchair bound so I am hoping I can do this with minimal cost. I am a draftsman for several local contractors and the pictures below are from the program I use. You can see more about the program here.
We have a wooded lot that is 125'x500' and was cleared of all debris last fall leaving only trees.
