There's a really cool article on this site about what it takes to be a self-builder.

G'luck!

Pretty good site bazza. But let's face it, it ain't rocket science. All you need is knowledge of building, insane commitment, ability to handle loads of stress, a deep wallet, and putting up with the cruddy British weather.

If fact, that's quite a lot isn't it? oh well. Good luck too!

Not a bad site bazza.

It might well be worth checking out some of the sites that I have listed below. Each one offers an individual account of a self build project, and there are some fantastic tips and advice.
