@rixthetrick I thought so too until I found out I had to pay over $75,000 in PERMITS.
Houses are a bit more expensive than you might think to build today, and we do it all ourselves except the beginning basics--plumbing, slab, walls, trusses (no basements down here). We take care of the rest--runs about $65.00/sq ft for us to put up the shell. After that, what do you want inside and for roof material (tile or metal down here).
The permits scared me off. I could put the permit money into fixing an existing house and come out better, but whatever you want, I guess.
(Not to be a stickler in these days of tweets and texts, but "THAT" sound better, please.)
Cheers!
