The Quiros family will put in 16 hours a week: he doing carpentry and general cleanup, she as a volunteer worker in the Homes for People office. The Owner-Builder Center in Berkeley, which has trained 8,000 people as builders and contractors, claims that a do-it-yourselfer can save up to 60% of construction costs...
