I was 10 years old when my father started a similar project. Served as his own contractor. Hired masons for the foundation and a framing outfit for walls and roof. Did not get it sided for the first Wisconsin winter and boy was that place drafty. Probably could not get an occupancy permit to do it these days, but circumstances dictated that we had to move in before any of the bathrooms were even usable. Borrowed a friends camping trailer for restroom use. That situation did not last very long, but my sister and I had to haul dishes down to the laundry sink in the basement for quite a while before he got to the kitchen. Have a few more stories, but basically almost everything that could be seen (interior and exterior) was completed by us and most of the rest as well except the items noted above as time and money permitted. When my parents sold it and moved 12 years later he finally finished the master bedroom and basement. All of this was completed evenings, weekends and vacations. Moral is be careful what you bite off. I know my father would not have done it any other way, but be prepared to endure some hardships.
