Aw, you have hit a sore spot with me. And I also ask "WHY?". I think the rule of not selling an owner built home for one year should be enough of a safety net for problems. I use a computer program to design houses and I have wired 2 homes we have built and so I know if you educate yourself, an owner builder sure can do it. My husband did the plumbing on one and all you have to do is follow the rules and codes.
