Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Jun 12, 2019 8:00 am Anyone else in here actually doing the build rather than just managing it? 9 months in, and so far the only trades other than plumber and sparky has been roofers. Just wondering how many owner builders are actually building vs project management?

Mine's on post as well. I was thinking about doing more myself at first, but my build is too challenging. I got a project manager who's also a builder to look after things. I learn new things everyday. lol Still life is hard for me coz there are so many things to decide. No, I even have sections of narrowness where the tiles won't slide up any further.
