...but realistically what would go wrong?


My husband and I built a garage in 2006. We hired the concrete and
roofing. A buddy came over and helped raise the roof trusses.

It was a lot of work, but nothing was very complicated.

A lot could go wrong, but my husband's a mechanical genius, so
nothing did.


I designed and built my entire quite fancy quite large passive solar house.
I did it with concrete blocks, not timber framed and its got a flat metal
decking roof and uses galvanised sheet metal inverted J beams with
variable height timber rafters bolted to the inverted J beams.

Quite a bit of work but very doable by anyone with any real
mechanical ability.
