Clark sometimes gets calls from people who are “building” a new house. Usually that means he or she is buying a house in a new subdivision, but rarely people actually build their own houses. Clark talked to one of these people today on the show. The man whose name is Robert lives in the Seattle area, and he built a four-story home in roughly four years. He constructed the entire home, from the plumbing to the nailing to the roofing. He came up with plans for the house, but the building department came back with a stack of fixes. At that point, he thought about giving up. But he heard some sage advice, and that was to carry it out “one step at a time.” It sounds simple, but it’s so important to remember. So, if you’re thinking of really building your own home, heed Robert’s advice.
