Nights and Weekends for 2 years (pic heavy)

[DucNaked]

I thought I'd post my build of my house. Most of it I did myself with help from good friends and family.  If there are carpenters on the board cut me some slack its my first build.






































More to come. Maybe

Yeah, i was thinking the same thing.

[badgalbetty]

that is completely awesome!
very well done indeed!

[sbrguy]

what is the platform on the roof in the last pic? some sort of connecting deck?

also we all want to see the garage you are building to put the ducati in of course.

great pics on the progression.  wow 2 years of doing that that is tough.  but good to see that you are almost done finally.

[DucNaked]

Thanks everyone. I'm finished know except for a for some small things.

That's a small deck over my front door in the last pic. I'll post more pics when I get them uploaded.

It wasn't quite 2 years, but close. It was hard working a full time job and doing this in my off time. My wife realy was the glue that held everything together. She was the orderer, bill payer and all around righthand man. She ran all the pex tubing for the hole heating system carried in all the flooring and moved more building material than I probably did. I'm a lucky man.
It's kinda cool that I can say we built it from the foundation to the roof. I even made all the counters and the upstairs double vanity (pic to come) . We did sub out the electric, insulation, and Sheetrock.

Pretty darn fantastic!

Good call on the 2x6 exterior walls!  Gotta love R-19+.  I did the same when I built my house.

Congrats on a nice project!

A beautiful job, and very well done! (And that's from a carpenter with 23 years experience)
Question;
In pic #5, it looks like the manifold for the radiant floor heat under the basement slab is too low. You brought it up before the pour, yes?

[erkishhorde]

Very nice!

[ZLTFUL]

Fantastic job.
I decided a while ago that the next house I live in will be built with my own hands. I have built so much stuff for others I figure its my turn to build for me.

[Rameses]

Absolutely beautiful!  

That's really something to be proud of man, congratulations.  

[redxblack]

subbing out the electric is a smart move. I'm pretty handy with electrical stuff, but wouldn't want to risk burning my house down just to save a few sheckels.

and a big  . I'm jealous of your end product (LOOKS BEAUTIFUL), but certainly not the amount of work you must have put into it.
