I did some of the work on mine, but mostly acted as my own contractor- hired others to do the work, but found and hauled the lumber, appliances, etc. on sale. You can save a lot that way. Mine was 30 years ago, but I found many trades guys who would work for time and materials, and I really think I saved a lot- but then, I was lucky and didn't run into anyone who skinned me.

He estimated $1,500 for the job, it came in at about a thousand. I asked him what he would have bid it, and he said 1,800.
