Major kudos for building your own house. A very, very rare feat. My Dad built ours when I was a kid. Lots of cutting edge stuff at the time. I still remember taking apart all of those oak crates that became the floor. Not one single creak in that floor. Only took out a tiny loan to get the house enclosed before winter. Highest hill off Lake Erie. Luckily we had my Uncle to sign off on the electrical work.
