On this episode of
Be Your Own Contractor: Vacation Homes you'll meet Meri and Tim Tenhet. They acted as their own contractors on their home on the Mississippi delta, just a half-mile from the Mississippi River. You'll hear why they chose to act as their own contractors and how Meri took the lead on the project -- starting with drawing the original sketches of the house. They describe the area where they built their weekend getaway and why they needed to build it 16-1/2 feet off the ground, and the steps they took in clearing the land in a manner that preserved the natural beauty and resources.
