Yeah I did it. Knocked back of house out and added second floor to combine the 2. I sub contracted all the structural, framing, and exterior work and electrical and heating and I did all the interior, hanging blueboard, paint and trim by myself. A lot of work but a lot of savings and I was also 15 years younger too. Not sure If I would take on that amount of work now, although I just redid 3/4 of a cottage on Cape last year but that wore me out and got old fast. Still got work to do but no timeline, except wife's which will never be possible, so that helps. If you like the location I would consider it. We did and are still happy. Hardest part is finding and hiring a competent builder that will make you happy with work and time line.
