What is new in alternative/selfbuilt housing methods?

[Weedygarden]

Weedygarden is a hero in my book, I thought I have aches and pains........

Or a fool?

When I bought my house, I knew it needed work, lots of it, but for the price, it was a win. I was the lucky person who showed up after the neighbors were going to sue HUD because the previous 6 offers were declined because the buyers already owned homes, and HUD decided to sell the house for a really, really good price.

Growing up, because my parents were deceased, I spent time with both sets of grandparents as well as aunts and uncles. That was usually summers that I was at aunts and uncles. The rest of the time I was the servant to my grandparents.

So you take in your orphaned niece for a while, and what do you do with her? Put her to work! I helped paint the homes of some of them, as a child. Ever paint the upper exterior of a house from the front end loader on a tractor? I have done many things like that, because they thought I could. And that also has made me think I can do almost anything. I hire little out, except for electrical, plumbing and other trades work that I cannot do. If I could do it, I would.

All was okay until I fell down the cement stairs in college and hurt my back. I probably broke my tailbone, but the doctor never told me that. I feel it every day, some days more than others. I can be up and doing stuff, but I really have to pace myself.
