Hello everyone.
Recently purchased some land in Northwest Florida, planning on building a cabin, most likely under 800 sf, probably sonotube foundation.
This forum looks like an absolute goldmine of precisely the sort of information I'm after.
I've never built a house from the ground up but am generally handy and competent with tools and fabrication. I do intend to ask an awful lot of questions to hopefully avoid errors during construction.
Anyway, hello 8)
You came to the right spot, welcome! I lived in Pensacola for 6 years when I was alot younger.
Welcome aboard Walt!!!! w*
I haven't built a house yet either but I got my land and plan to start in the spring.
This forum is a treasure trove of great info so you have come to the right place. :)

Happy to help with whatever questions you have.
A quick pointer, by recollection from helping many members over the years, Florida has some pretty strict building codes. I don't believe sonotube foundations are usually allowed. You may want to double check on that.
