    On this episode of Be Your Own Contractor: Vacation Homes you'll meet Francesca de la Flor. She acted as her own contractor on a modest horse ranch in Temecula, California, which is in the heart of Southern California's wine and thoroughbred horse country. She shares how she did the job herself because no contractor could build it on her limited budget. And she gives some valuable advice about building codes and dealing with the building inspection process. You'll find out why she wanted to build in Temecula, California, and about the challenges she faced building her house off the beaten path.
