I have used ICF Styrofoam blocks that worked. Most of the US a home owner can do there electrical and plumbing and there is NO problem getting insurance. Homes are inspected many times and the work is verified by a building inspector, my experience is inspectors are usually tougher on home owners they actually look check nailing , verify wire size ECT. With pros they give a quick walk through sign. DIY will give you the skills to maintain the house saving more over your life. | |
