> Making house is easy. The hard
> part is building codes.this, i have my blueprints, a monkey could do framing, the plumbing was pretty easy to figure out, and i work in electrical. I researched roofing, insulation, acoustics, laying down foundation, building shower pans, tiling, most details of homebuilding and offgrid living.

I'm convinced one person could do it, but its harder to finance when you pay for every nail and plank versus getting a mortgage.

I want to build a small house. I am a computer engineer and I know electrical well, I've taught myself plumbing, hvac, insulating, and carpentry.

But I have no licenses. I can apply for permits, but how solo can I go on my project (as few contractors as possible)?

I've been thinking about doing offgrid electrical, and perhaps collecting rainwater or having a well dug to keep the gubments far away.
