Greetings,

I would like to build my own stone home, with my own hands, on my own land,
with my own money (not the bank's) meeting modern safety and energy
standards. Alas, I am told that I cannot because I am not a licensed this or
that or the other and they will not let me pull the permits. I assure you
that the home I would build for myself would be a work of pride exceeding
all standards of workmanship and materials.

This has been a dream in my life. What suggestions do you have for me?

Thank you in advance,

William
