I don't think it's a weekender.   My house was finished from Go to Woe in NINE weeks in 1973.   It CAN be done.  No prefabbing or gang nailed trusses. Brick venerial. with a chimney. Nev

Shocking. Is nothing sacred?  You won't even be able to hear them come and go and they will never have the bonnet up. Nev
