building a home - tips needed? FayeC 12-29-2005
        Has anybody here built a house from scratch instead of build a
built
house?
I mean....what are the pros and cons about building versus buying...
Our local market has been over inflated by several new developments
and while it was feasible to buy a house here it isn't anymore but we
need to stay in the area as my son goes to a special school in town.
I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to buy land/lot and then build
the house ourselves....
My concern is in regards to dirty contractors and all that....
Any tips and tricks passed along will be appreciated.

Thanks,

FayeC
