Happy new year to all builders,tradies, do it your selfers and why the hell! did i ever start this project people.

I would love some feed back on building your own home, if anyone could reply who's been through this daunting venture, it would be appreciated, especially the finacial benefits if there are any ,mind you i'm a cement render and have most the trade contacts, that's the only reason why i'm considering doing this project ,anyway any feedback would be nice good or bad.
Cheers.
Joe.
