Il think nearly everyone will want to use
the unit plan. This just means that you build
a small part of the house and get it finished
as quickly as possible, 50 you can live in it
while you build the rest of the house at your
leisure. But even though you build in sec
tons, you should have definite idea of what
the finished house will be.

A Marine veteran in Southern California

people can pay for their materials as they buy

you don't pay, and your ten-thousand-dollar
house shouldn't cost you half that much.
Judging from Corey's own experience, that
is conservative figuring. He has barely 5000
invested in his place. Before the study was
finished and before housing was short in his
area, he turned down $4,000 for it.

Corey would not insist that you do all
the work yourself. Professional advice
and aid should be called for when needed.
Put your neighbors and friends and relatives

can get good price on ready-mixed concrete,
you will save lot of time. If part of the work
