Oh boy! I want to win! I have my land and I am saving up to build my house in 4-5 years and be my own contractor. I've read books from the library but it would be great to have my own to scribble on!

I'm interested. We have several remodeling projects in mind, but it looks like it's going to be a long time before we can afford them. I'd love to find out if there's a way we can do it cheaper.
