Planning my house was one of the most difficult and complicated things I have ever done. It was invigorating at times and exciting, but also frustrating and time consuming.
I started out at zero. I knew absolutely nothing about building a house, or how to prepare for it.
It took me more time to figure out what I was supposed to be planning, then it did to actually plan it.
It was so frustrating to me that I couldn’t find a clear road map for what I was supposed to be planning. I had the desire, but it crushed my motivation every time I had to waste days searching for information and piecing it all together. I never knew if what I was planning actually was what I was supposed to be planning, or if I was forgetting big steps that would cost me in the long run.
It took me 2 years to plan our house the best I could. I spent over 1,000 hours learning and trying my best to decide what the important decisions were. I estimate that about half of that was spent gathering information and not actually making the plans for my home. That’s 500 hours gone because I couldn’t find an outline of what an owner-builder needed to know and plan, in order to general contract their own home.
I was prepared, and everything turned out fine, but almost every day during our build, I was faced with things that I didn’t know needed to be planned out.
It cost us time and money every time we were hit with something else I didn’t have planned out already.
How is your house planning going so far? It is, after all, the MOST important part of your build.
This is why I created Plan Your House.
PYH is a 21 day house planning course that gives you clear instructions and direction on exactly what you need to know and plan for your future house.
Each day focuses on a specific part of your house building process. It tells you exactly what you NEED to know, and what you NEED to plan out.
Every day comes with checklists or planners to fill out and keep track of everything you need. They have lists of questions you need to consider, worksheets to fill out, and planners with a clear direction.
There is no fluff to wade through, just the exact information you need, questions you need to answer, and specifics you need to write down.
PYH will cut out hundreds of hours that would have been spent searching for this information and putting it together yourself. How much is 500 hours of your time worth? At minimum wage, you would be costing yourself around $5,000 in time. I honestly searched all over for a resource like this because I knew how much time I was spending just looking.
PYH will give you the peace of mind in knowing that someone just like you put together all of the most important information in one place, and that you won’t be forgetting things like insulation types, roof pitch, U-factor, and vent placement.
Here is some of the simple goodness you will receive when you sign up for Plan Your House:
- 21 days of simple, precise instruction from me, the Farmer’s Wife, delivered right to you.
- The correct order in which to plan everything out so you don’t have to double back and re-plan
- A 21 day master checklist of everything you need planned out before you start building
- Over 25 other time saving checklists and planners to print off and fill out for your home
- How to create a site map the right way
- Plumbing, electrical, and heating and air planners
- Expense planning tips
- How to plan your kitchen efficiently
- No fluff or wasted time
And this year, I have also added a few new things to PYH:
- A complete organization system for you to follow throughout your whole build. Every paper you will have during your build, organized in one location. Portable and easy.
- A sample building timeline, plus instructions on how to plan out your own.
- How to plan out your budget the easy way.
So, what is your time worth? $2/hour …. $10/hour …. $50?
Now you have two options:
Pass up on this killer opportunity, continue sorting through the internet for relevant information, potentially forget things you should be planning for your home, and save a few cents an hour because you didn’t sign up for PYH
or
Invest in this simple and complete house planning course and in a few weeks be entirely finished planning out your dream home. While simultaneously filling out checklists and planners that will keep you organized and make your build easier and smoother. Not to mention saving more money than you just spent because you have every thing planned out the right way.
What do my students have to say about PYH?
As a Farmer’s Wife, I have to figure out how to do a lot of things on my own. Farmer works long and weird hours so if I want something done, I better learn how to do it and jump on it myself. When we decided that I would be the general contractor on our forever home, it was terrifying. I didn’t know the first thing about construction, and I didn’t know where to start learning either. It took more than a year of focused research to feel semi comfortable with construction jargon and the process of home building. Then add on top of that the entire planning portion of being your own general contractor and I had more than 1,000 hours into it.
I wanted to create this course for people like me. People who needed a simple, easy to understand program that would hold their hand through a process that they knew nothing about. The order people THINK they should be planning their house in is completely backwards. But you wouldn’t know that if you hadn’t built a house before.
This was information I couldn’t find anywhere for myself, so I created it in hopes to help others that were going through the same thing. And the best part is, it’s written in a language you can understand! I kept it as simple as possible, no fluff, and included only the things you NEED to know and at the time you need to know them.
So who is this course for?
PYH is for the people out there who want to owner-build their house but don’t know how to do it.
It’s for the people in the planning stage, wanting to prepare themselves the best they can for this enormous project they are about to take on.
It’s for someone willing to put in the work of owner-building. To do the planning required up front in order to have a successful build where they save money, and have less stress and problems.
It’s for the person wanting to enjoy their build, not just survive it.
And just as important, who is this course NOT for?
PYH is not for those of you who are already building. It is a planning course, not a building course.
PYH is not for someone who doesn’t want to put in the time and work of owner-building. That’s why general contractors charge 20%, it’s a lot of work. But $200,000 was worth it to me! Is it worth it to you?
It is also not for someone who is just dreaming of building a house someday. It is an actionable course that requires you to be making decisions and moving forward with planning your house. This is not the “idea stage” anymore, this is the making decisions stage. If you aren’t ready to be making decisions, don’t sign up for this course.
Which category do you fall under?
