Accessory Dwelling Unit DIY

[Kat Gord]

Hello, new friends! I am an owner-builder, working with my father on an ADU in SF Bay Area. The only parts we hired contract labor for were foundation and electrical, rest is DIY. We're moving on to the inside work, and I must say what an adventure it's been! Over the past 1.5 years, I've accumulated a slew of knowledge that I can't wait to share: from getting permits and passing inspections to selecting materials and calculating budget. I plan on writing a series of blog posts, and would love to find out what everyone's #1 pain point has been when building a house or remodeling (either DIY or hiring contractors)? I've had quite a few, so would love to narrow down and focus on the most relevant ones. Thank you and please feel free to ask away if you have any immediate questions!
