Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 07, 2009 9:39 pm We are currently living in a shed, getting ready to build. I wanted to know if anyone else is in a similar situation, that is, living in a shed or something like that, and building their house. How long has it taken you to finish? We have been here for 8 months and just got our plans done, and are getting quotes. I am kinda thinking we could still be here this time next year, the way things are going. Thanks.

Is it on a relative's property or something? Re: How long did (is) your build taking 3Jul 07, 2009 10:05 pm We have a farm, 75 acres so our shed is right next door to our house site! The previous owners lived here and were going to build, but we bought the property and acquired the shed and the house,which has already been started. So we are finishing it.
