Has anyone in the group done this and do they have any words of

Hey, didn't you build you own house? I figure if you can do it, it
should be a snap.


Once again, I suggest you get Loogy to help you. The two of you
should make a wonderful pair.


Did you have any problems finding good trades when building your home?
I would assume you had great trades for the brickwork, but I was
thinking more about plumbing and electrician etc.


As soon as you post your full legal name here and I can verify it,
I'll be glad to fill you in on the good, the bad, and the ugly in
reference to serving as your own GC on the construction of a personal
home. I will tell you that it is not a challenge to be taken on lightly.

You didn't build the house your wife owns. She bought an "improved
property" in 2003, which means it had an existing structure on it. The
structure on the property your wife owns was built in 2002 by "BUILTRITE
AT CHELTENHAM KNOLLS INC." In fact BUILTRITE AT CHELTENHAM KNOLLS INC
built all of the homes on the street your wife bought her house on. The
Maryland State tax records don't lie: http://tinyurl.com/a25mru


The question is why does Harry lie about everything? What does he have
to gain? He knows we are on to him. Why do the lies continue? This guy
is one sick puppy.

I think it was an error. He meant to say 'a home in Northern Virginia' when
discussing his home.

Any minute now he's going to give us the address and photos of the NoVa
residence he's talking about.

Unless...................that's another lie. Surely not.
