I built mine, and have a few pointers. First, consider that if you are holding down a regular job, you'll be building part-time. Check with your permit office before you start and see if there are any time limits on building. It will take longer than you think. What happens if you aren't complete (final inspection) before the permit expires? Make sure you know all the applicable codes. Again, permit office should be able to "help" you there. Other than the need to have a multiple man crew at times, erecting the shell is actually the fast and easy part, and it doesn't require any special tools that you don't already have. Who doesn't have a hammer, circular saw, tape measure and framing square? Probably makes a lot of sense to hire out the concrete work, as it can be difficult to get "your friends" to come over and help with that. Definitely hire out the drywall hanging and mudding to a pro. It's not a difficult skill, but not one you want to learn on your own house. Besides, the drywall guys can hang and mud the drywall almost as cheap as you can. If you're going to be your own general contractor and hire subs, you probably need to provide toilet facilities for them, so figure that in your costs.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
