[quote=Anonymous]This is so fascinating. Sears sold hundreds of thousands of kit homes and a substantial number of them were built by the purchaser using their own labor and that of friends and neighbors. We used to be able to do and make things. Britain has a thriving self-build movement with various levels of involvement. Now: we've turned ourselves into consumers who can't lift a hammer. Ironic, too that the responses to the OP's question revolve around liability and expertise considerations; if you are around the building trades, you'll be aware how poor many of the practices are, how expertise is dwindling (although there are still some excellent craftspeople out there!). OP: there might be a few who would be willing to work alongside you. Contracts and clear communication would be key.[/quote]
