Up until I moved to Colorado in 1995 my father designed and built all of out houses, of course he had sub contractors to help. He got the lumber cheap sine he managed a bulding materials center in Ogden. Since I was old enough to I helped in building those houses. Even on our recent homes we have done a lot of the work and planning.
