To be honest, I mostly just want to know where to find information on any aspect on home construction so that I can fix things or make alterations to my house. At most I want to build a workshop or maybe an addition, but I'd like it to be well-done. As it stands I don't know where to learn things like, laying foundation, or standard practices about deciding 2x4 placement, electrical, plumbing, etc.
Thats a broad range of topics. Billion youtube channels to gst you started. I saw put "how to concrete" in and go from there. I have gotten several nice projects done with just that method.
Problem for me is that I would like to be able to study a project end-to-end before starting on it so that I have better foresight about possible problems I'll run into
Ahh, then start watchiing tiny house building videos to get an overview. It is the same variety of skills to build a regular house but it is small enough in scope a person can youtube doccument the process.
Plus then you get cool stuff like aircrete and other alternative buding tech that a person wouldn't have picked on by osmosing general contracting.
Best bet might be to go to a trade school/community college and take some classes. I'd think homebuilding is one of those things that requires hands on experience to get it right. I think at least some cities have subsidized training for this, so you might be able to do classes for free, or get grants for it.
