Right after the war my grandfather and his brothers built probably 8 homes as a little business before finding other work. They did it all themselves. The plans, the building, wiring, plumbing, everything.

Part of the issue is that the big guys have pushed out players like this. But another part of the issue is the onerous code process in place today. Could you even get a few guys together to build a home without having a certified electrician or engineer? And even if you could, does the present generation of able bodied workers even have the knowhow as my grandparents generation? The guy would spend all the time I waste on TV or the internet working out projects and plans until the day he passed practically. Seems present generations are a bit distracted by the digital world to pick up so many useful analog skills.
