Have you ever thought that it might be interesting to design your own house?  Well, whether you want pointers and motivation to help you along on your way or you just want to live vicariously through a couple that is working toward that goal, head on over to how to build house.  This couple are beginning such a journey and are blogging about their progress.

They have laid out much of the backstory and have written about their current situation.  It seems that they have completely finished the basement of thier current dwelling.  Of course, they also do other projects around their house like landscaping and deck building.  The way they describe these past projects helps you feel welcome to joing them on their journey.

The big project, though, is their diy construction project.  So far, we know that they have bought land to build on.  They also worked on clearing the land, which you can see in some of their pictures.  It looks like a nicely wooded place, so it will be entertaining to ride along and see how it actually turns out.

I really wonder how long it will take. something like this could take anywhere from six months to many years depending on how hard they work.  Is this going to become a full-time job or just an after-work project?  We have no idea yet.  Maybe they don’t even have any idea yet.  If they’re really doing things mostly on their own, they haven’t done it previously, and they’ve got other jobs to work at during the day, it could take a long while complete.  In any case, riding along with them should turn out to be quite a ride.

If educating yourself about building your own house is appealing to you, this website is recommended.  They seem like regular folks that want to try their hand at house construction.  It’s unclear if they will be their own general contractor or if they’ll do some of the work themselves and hire a company to oversee the project.  I have no idea!  What is obvious is that it will be entertaining to follow along as they learn how to build house.
