Sorry Dobly, but yes it can be that hard and that is why some of us have made it our profession. If it was so easy then there would be no need for any builder qualification would there - anyone could do it! Just the same, the LAW does provide you the option of DIY so all the best and I hope it goes well for you.

Of course it is going to be hard.. I am a professional software developer and project manager with a diploma in computer programming and over 15 years experience. If someone suggested to me that software development is 'not hard, right?' I would have given to same response as you.. But I would have added, 'it's not hard, if you are willing to learn what you need to learn'. From my own study I have learned that nothing is hard, if you learn how to do it and are physically able. This project will not start until the end of 2007 or 2008. That is over a year away. In that time I plan to learn as much as I can. Maybe even do a course or two. Any suggestions on how I can skill up for this project? Courses, books, recommended magazines? Bear in mind that there is only so much that I will be doing myself.. I will put up the Zego walls, and do most of the interior and some landscaping, etc... But all the other MAJOR stuff, like putting the roof on, the plumbing, the electrical, the slab (or fountations) and more, will be done by professionals. Of course. There is also (finance permitting) a solar power system going in. I'll not have anything to do with installing that! So sorry if I belittled your profession.. That was the furthest thing from my mind. From what I have seen already, building a house is far from a trivial task.
