Back in 1990 I sold the house we lived in for 15 years. With 3 kids we had accumulated a lot of stuff. We had planned on building a new home before we moved but the house sold within 2 days of being on the market and they wanted possession within 30 days. We started on the house right away. I laid the blocks for the foundation myself. My wife and youngest son mixed the mortar and the older son carried blocks for me as I laid them. We were all about dead by the time we finished that but we had saved about $1000 at that time doing it ourselves. I also built the house myself with the help of my wife and kids and did my own plumbing. We had the roof on and had it ready for sheetrock with one bathroom in in the basement plumbed and usable by the time we had to move out of the other one. I put rods up in the garage to hold the cloths and sort of made little rooms. We had the stove and refrigerator working out there and had the couch and tv set up also. The beds we put in the basement and thats where we slept. We lived that way till it was completed. I don't know how we did it but we managed. The kids still talk about the adventure they had. I don't think we could ever do it again though. Good luck on your move.
