Fun never stops. Paths so retaining wall is next. We will do the wall ourselves in face and the paver on top of it. The first layer will be concrete instead of a layer of bricks.

I am starting my journey as a owner builder. I have a lot of questions but for now, I only want to ask 1 big thing. Question 1 - How the Duck do i arrange workforce for my project? Ex - we all know that there are N number of tasks that one has to do as an OB. From where do i arrange people to complete my tasks? Like for plumbing how do i arrange plumbing company? Like that for all the tasks how do i arrange man force? Please provide some inputs as I feel like, I am getting lost here. Thanks OB Hi, What are your reasons behind doing OB? Is it to save money by doing most jobs yourself? Or is money of no object and you just want things done your way all the way, you can chop and change a few things as you go, etc. We did OB because my partner is a tradie and with the firm plan to do most things that we could ourselves. Also, he knows other tradies. If you don’t know anyone, you would have to do a lot of research and rely on reviews for each tradie that you need. He also used stuff everywhere in the house that otherwise would have just gone to the bin. But also some we had to buy. It’s been an experience for sure. You have to have a lot of patience. In our case because we have done and (still do) most things, a lot of hardwork as well. I went down the OB path as I was building in a remote rural location and I could not find any builders that were interested in my project. OB in SA - Back yard 1028Oct 25, 2020 6:29 am Our backyard. Still a few things to do like re-roofing the little shed, painting the verandah posts as well as tiling it and cutting the fence straight and putting caps on it. Love it!
