Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Nov 30, 2010 11:04 pm Hi Guys I just found the thread and I thought I would sign up and introduce myself. I am currently completing an owner builder project with my partner on our first home. It's a single storey brick veneer home thats around 289 sq. I have to say it so far has been full of ups and downs but we are still slightly under budget. The work is definetly taking its toll on myself tho as I have no previous building experience - I guess the only way to get some is to try Currently we have our frames up and are working on securing the trusses. I will post some photos this weekend of what we are upto so far. Anyways I look forward to everyones knowledge/opinions and reading about everyones experiences! Thanks!
