Why are you only coming now?!

We constantly have bad experiences with contractors here, but with you by our side, no problem at all...

Maybe I’ll build again... do you also help nationwide in Germany?

What can you guarantee?
Good food, fun, a place to sleep, and drinks of your choice—I’d take a year off for that.

How large is your project, and what will it cost you in the end?

The like will come later!!

If you can take a year off, then you’re capable of building everything yourself. The owner is always the one in charge. Step by step, and you’ll reach the goal faster than you think. I just don’t want to depend on other contractors.

Could one of the moderators please correct the title? It’s really hard on the eyes...

Great DIY effort, but do you use the bathroom outside of the Christmas season as well?

We use the house and bathroom every two weeks.

It’s probably a spelling difficulty, completion... MANY THANKS

Great work. It seems like you really enjoyed doing it. Taking on such large projects alone is not for me—I’m too impatient and undisciplined to handle all the details myself. I have the utmost respect for people who do it—whether building a house, restoring a classic car, or completing other projects that take 1000 or more hours. So: respect!

Seems suspicious to me!

It is absolutely fine and proper to do things yourself and then have a qualified professional inspect and approve the work. Whether someone works on the electrical system in their house or the brakes on their car—if they have the skills, they are allowed to do it. Sometimes an authority simply needs to confirm that everything is correct.

Don’t you have to add the income you lose in that year to the costs?

Only if you actually lose that income. Friends of ours built a similarly sized stone house 15 years ago as a simpler extension to their existing home. Everything from the foundation slab up was done by themselves, after work and on weekends. Friends and relatives helped here and there. It wasn’t an easy time (6 months) but it was unbeatable in terms of cost.

The income that slips through my hands is the current value of the house.
The trend is rising.
The value of the land and the house today is almost double.
For every house and price, there is someone who would buy it.
I calculate the value of the house!
