At that point I personally took over and did all
finish work including paint, pine trim,hanging doors,pergo flooring throughout,kitchen cabinets and light fixtures etc. This finish work took me 4 days a week from January 2009 when the sub work was finished, to June 2009 when I received my certificate of occupancy. My expenses were around 200000 total. Land cost (pond waterfront) was 165000 for a total cost of 365000.

It was a great experience. I think I was helped due to the fact that 2008,2009 was not a busy time for contractors.

Yes, 2008, 2009 was a different time. You could probably add 200K to that build now. Not only are the contractors all busy but building materials have increased tremendously since then.
