I can do it so YOU can do it. Took me 8 months to build a random stone wall through winter, sleet and rain. Had chronic plantar faciitis one year and couldn't stand - needed to dig a trench - normally take me a day. Took me 2 weeks on my knees. The challenges will come. They will overload you. You say (expletive deleted) YOU to them and get on with it. I know your journey; so I will know your pain ( sounds like a quote from a movie! ). Help's here ( not from me! ; I'm (expletive deleted)ing useless )) use it ! -
It’s true ! ? Not complete ( of course ) but after 7 years we actually move in tomorrow. What have i learnt ? . With infinite support and help from this forum you can build a non standard house built by an unskilled non standard human ? . I always felt my journey was a testament to this forum . If I were a plumber , joiner , brickie etc. then that would be a distinct natural advantage. Yet I am an ex software engineer who builds his house bit by bit ( had to get that joke in , sorry ! ) There have been mistakes a plenty ( not all mine ) - many wft moments . The build literally consists of blood , sweat , tears and indeed other bodily fluids . So thank you to all that offer help and advice . Those that tolerate seemingly stupid questions ( usually are stupid actually ) . But most of all to give time to help someone achieve more than they are capable of . This is the power of buildhub . I will now post some witty comments elsewhere ; or some obscenity that will get me a naughty boy badge .
