The methods above we talk about a lot of the time are definitely only for private or custom builds. Spec home customers would never pay for the labor it cost to build a nicely built home. So a lot of the times you can do this yourself if you build a home for your time and not a lot of money (the things we talk about)

Custom built house is my dream. No cutting corners. No saving $40 and then having to spend $2,000 somewhere down the line.
If I had to guess, I'm 20 years away from building my home, but then at that age I've got maybe 20 years to really enjoy it. I'd never realize the benefit of using quality materials because the 20 year mark is about when it starts to become apparent. At least I'd have left the world with a quality home.
