He said he was gonna knock the whole house down and start from scratch. The DIY is great, but there's some things they really don't prepare you for, especially if it's on the scale of the whole house. DIY is good for finishes, and minor reno's. Doing things like foundation work, sanitary/sanitary lines and electrical work...if you don't do em right, you just pay more in the end to fix it.
If you do plan on doing your own work, another great way is to do the work, and get hire a professional to double check your work and it'll cost a lot less that way and you'll know if you did it right or not.
