We are owner-building to save a ton of money! And to build the house exactly the way we want it. No builder to say 'I'm sorry we can't do that.'

Spicewood - partial owner-built

Posted to Spicewood-TX by Cris in Austin, TX on 6/12/2007

So, after working on our plans for 2 years, we finally are digging some dirt!  sort of - just test holes for the septic designer. 

We originally planned to OB this house, but work got in the way and arranged for a hybrid model - my wife and I are the "supervisors" and a builder will oversee us and supply subs/insurance...

Today we're waiting on our financing and me to get the test holes dug.  The best location is down a pretty steep hill and i'm not sure how to get the backhoe down there.  Should have it figured out tomorrow.
