/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2846126

For example, housing is the biggest cost of any working person.

If you "DIY" or build your own house on land, you don't owe rent or mortgage to anyone.

I'm a carpenter and know many other carpenters, man that built his own house all utilities himself over six years.

That's a lot of time, six years, we put up new houses in like 1-3 months. But he's not paying rent or a mortgage, can hand that down to his kids.

You can build a traditional style house from the ground up in about a year or less, a modern modular kit home you can build in a few months or under half a year.

You can save a lot of money using Earth materials like adobe, cob, and similar building techniques. You can lay concrete, wood frame foundation, stone, however you choose.
