If you decide to go the route of designing your home from scratch, you’ll need to learn a lot about construction including residential code requirements and structural engineering details.Alex is a mechanical engineer and spent over 600 hours designing our home. He had extensive CAD experience prior to the start of this project.
We also paid a professional engineer company to check the drawings and made changes per the recommendations.
We chose to use Chief Architect over other softwares because it is specific to residential design and has a great online user forum.

ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7️⃣pm EST, and post daily on Instagram!
