My fiance and I are doing it ourselves. It's a tiny house and he has a few years of construction experience. We had to learn a lot on the fly, but it hasn't collapsed yet! Seriously though I bet you can do it, especially with a few mates.
I won’t lie, I am intrigued my tiny homes. But I somehow have negative construction experience lol.
Yep, that was my take on it as well. Have a few friends over every other weekend or so, some work, then lunch, beer (on me of course) and then do some more work.
I have very little building experience, but I was thinking of consulting people and YT videos, as well as people online for specific things. Heck, it can't be that hard. I mean, I've seen construction workers work, it's not rocket science. Sure, I might get some things wrong, but even if I'd have to redo them, it should be a lot cheaper in the end, compared to the price of a house.
I'm good with my hads, maybe that's why I have this notion, that I can do it.
Building code is close to rocket science. Or maybe voodoo... Building a house is pretty simple, but a code inspector will come up with 2,000 odd little things you didn't do. A clip here, a gap there...
I know, I was planning on researching that as well make a list of the most common problems inspectors find.
Plus I can always "grease" things a little bit... coffee and some snacks when they come 😁.
It's been my experience that beer works better ;)
The issue you'll have is that building code is hella difficult to just read. It's not written as a guide per se, it's written reactively. Inspectors agree hired to be nitpicks, and the code is their list of nits to pick. They kinda get paid by the nit, and over time, as they find new nits, it all gets shoehorned into a big nit list, and trying to read it is hard because you're just kinda reading a giant laundry list of that shit.
The first couple pages are also rather likely to tell you that you don't actually need to follow it. That's not the actual reality, but it seems common for code to say that...

Thanks for the tip 😉 😁.
Hm, didn't actually know they get paid by the hour and nits... yeah, that does make things more difficult...
I know a few local construction workers, one of them has his own small construction business, I'll ask for dos and donts from him, plus he knows most of the inspectors, I think he can be of help... maybe even bring him on site 😁.
That’s some positive thinking, confidence is one of the biggest hurdles. Best of luck if you try, friends definitely would speed up the process.
Thanks ☺️.
House or teeth?
In this economy, yes.
Wish it didn’t have to be a question. Heck I can remember when dental was somewhat commonplace with jobs, but unions are sadly a rarity.
Yes.
Good question 🤣.
