SUBJECT: Owner Building...
Michael, hello. My name is Aron Johnson and my wife and I also live in Bellevue. We are presently looking for land to owner build our house. Your name is on the Owner Builder Book website as a contact in Bellevue. I was just wondering about your experiences with home building. If you have some time I'd like to hear your opinions.
Thanks,
Aron

Hello Aron-
At this point I am just getting more information on the owner builder concept. I bought a book for my father (who has a background in construction) since this is what he plans on doing in his retirement.
I do mortgage loans here in Washington and in many other states, in addition to working full time at Microsoft making games.
I can help you guys find construction or land money if you are interested. Owner building is something I am looking to get into in the next few years.

No ideas of good subs.
What part of NJ are you about to build? Do you have most of the bids taken care of?
I'm in the Warren area.
Let me know how it goes.

Thank you for replying.
We are buying the land in Lawrenceville. It is the next town to Princeton.
Can we share our experiences as we go along.
There are several areas we could share our experiences and benefit each other. If you don't mind. I am now facing a big hurdle with plans and blueprints. I will let you know in my next mail in detail
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

================================
TO: James & Pamela from Valencia, CA
FROM: Anita from Saugus, CA
SUBJECT: Land Prices
Hello.... we live in Saugus, but have been looking all over SC Valley.... so far, it just looks very pricey. :(
We are not actually intending to Owner-build for several years (too many young children in our household right now), but we wanted to shop for land early -- hoping to have something by the end of next year. So far, we are not seeing anything that is a good price, let alone a bargain. That is, unless you want to move way out to Green Valley, and even those lots are small.
How is your search? We were thinking about checking some land auctions around the beginning of next year, and getting in touch with the assessors office.... have you tried that yet?
Keep in touch... would love to hear how your Owner-building experience goes.

Hello Kelvin! Actually, we're about to start building around mid-December. We've been learning/reading/researching/visiting sites/etc for about a year now, and have a very firm grasp of the process. Throughout this process, we've met SEVERAL OB couples, some firsttimers, some experienced OB couples. We were very surprised at the number of "nice" "upscale" homes that are built by OBs, and most have been kind enough to share their sub lists (labor) with us. I've knocked off so much from my initial total cost just from gaining access to these OBs subs. We've met several OBs in Fair Oaks Ranch, Summerglen, Rogers Ranch. All of these "John Doe Custom Homes" signs you see at homes under construction are folks just like you and me.
Feel free to contact me as needed. What's your schedule to start?

Hi Ray, This format is kind of wierd for exchanging messages.As to your question on
construction type,I'm thinking stick built.I've read a ton on the Internet about alternative
methods,many of which could result in a superior end product,but for me they're just not realistic.I
need to do as much as I can myself,and the cost of having a crane on site for an extended time using
SIPS for example would be prohibitive.I love the idea of ICF's but after you see them in real life,to get a
straight wall would take 6 times the work.I have a building lot in Howland but I'm not sure I want to
build on it yet. Barry

However, I am the property manager for the home we rent, and recently had a new roof installed. I feel
a got a great deal, quality installation, and honest work from Roof Works. The owner's name is Scott
Cliser: 540-786-0256.
While I live in Stafford, I will be building in Front Royal.

We used Rock Hill Bank and Trust....Fort Mill, SC.
I would suggest calling around to all the financial institutes around you. That is what we did. I kept a log of the info on my computer. It was a long process, but well worth it. You can cut the cost of the calls by using prepaid phone cards from SAMS Club--kind of control the phone bill...
Any more questions, feel free to contact us....

Hi Tim. We're just getting started on our project to build here in Napa. If you don't own property
already, there are a lot of ordinances to consider (i.e., groundwater, flood, stream setbacks, view shed,
etc.) Thankfully, the property that we purchased is clear of all of the County ordinances. So far we're
excited about the building prospect and definitely feel that it will be worth it to build our custom home
as opposed to what we were doing, which was trying to find something with a little bit of land that we
were satisfied with. Where are you planning to build? Good Luck - Jeannette

Hi Chen-Ju - I have a quick question for you. I am in the process of redoing my kitchen, gutted the whole thing and found out I needed some major structural adjustments in order to knock out some walls. Can you reccommend any framers that can do shear walls, support beams and other structural details? If not, do you have any suggestions about how to get sources? ( I already have contacts for the other trades) I had a friend / contractor who was going to do the work for me and he just doubled his price!!!! Anything would be helpful. Thanks. Frances
================================
TO: Frances from San Rafael, CA
FROM: Chen-Ju from Richmond, CA
SUBJECT: Strutural issues
Never count on framer to solve your structural problems. It worth a piece of mind to hire a reputable engineer to work out the detail then have the framer follow the instruction. If the framer does not understand the situation he is going to charge double to cover the unknown.

Well Frances I'm not going to be much help. I had my kitchen remodeled but alas there was no
structural changes. So I don't have anyone specifically good at structural or load bearing changes.
However I really liked my guys who did my kitchen. My general contractor should be able to handle it (I
don't know). Also you can call my main sub, he was just great and a very skilled carpenter. Both work
in your area.
My general is named Alain from Handyall. His email is info@handyall.com and his number is
(415) 648-1258.
My main sub contractor was Patrick, and he is a great all round carpenter, his cell number is
415 235 4512.
If you talk to either tell them I referred you.

I live in Marin , Specifically San Rafael.

I do need a good framer that can do structural details and a creative electrician. I have a european cooktop I want to convert. It's been done before, they just have to figure out which valve to use. Any help would be very much appreciated. Do you have a seminar in the near future in Marin? I'd be interested. Fran

Brandon,
We are currently in the sheetrock stage of our house.
I did the framing myself. Subbed out the plumbing, elec, concrete, and sheetrock. I have only a small
to moderate construction knowledge. Previously built a 12x20 shop. and that was about it.
My wife did the design layout (blueprint) in "Design 3d House" i think.
I then drew up the blueprints and construction details in a CAD program.
Our house is approx 3200ft2.
I went with an insulated panel system of 6" walls. Pretty easy to put up.
We should be coming in under $50/ft finished cost.
feel free to check out my web site on our house at...
Happy to provide references and who I would NOT hire again. Feel free to contact me.

SUBJECT: Warmboard
So Shaun, did you go with the warmboard? We are in the planning stages and I am sold on the
warmboard over gypcrete. I was just wanting to hear a first had account of how it worked. I just noticed
that your post was from a few months ago, looks like I was the first reply. Joel Z
================================
TO: Joel from Lincoln, NE
FROM: Shaun from Sturgeon Bay, WI
SUBJECT: warmboard
Hello, Joel
I used to live in Omaha where I did a general surgery residency from 89-94.
I am building a timbe frame house which is very tight and energy efficient. I am quite interested in
radiant heat in regards to comfort and dust, although one of my timber frame designers says that the
home is so tight and efficient already, that the added savings with radiant heat is not as significant as a
conventionally framed house.
I plan on about 3500-4000sf of finished space above a walkout basement and have been quoted the
price of 10-15 dollars/sf by a warmboard rep.
I haven't reached the point where I've decided if the extra cost will be worth it. I do know that I will be
using pex tubing for all the runs in my house as far as the plumbing goes.
I can let you know if I decide to pursue this further as crunch time should be in the next 2-3 months. I
started really early.
Shaun
