No truck? 🛻 No problem. I rented a U-Haul and hauled over 50 bags of Rockwool insulation. Overcoming challenges like this is just part of the process when🦺 building a 🏡home addition as an owner-builder. But by investing my time and labor, I saved $100k🤑—and it was definitely worth it.

Framing was likely the area where I made the most mistakes as an owner-builder. At one point, a worker cut a beam prematurely, which initially seemed like a $1,000 error. However, with the help of our engineer, we found a solution that cost only $400. Remarkably, the fix made the building twice as strong.
