This is a good book —- https://a.co/d/07FOW2nz There are off grid books too. Yes you can do it — it will take time, likely years to get all done. You can learn everything and do it all to code. My family (me, wife, 2 15 year olds and 19 year old) bought a 100 year old house to flip and tore it down to the studs, redesigned the interior rebuilt 100% of everything - hired out for drywall and the roof. Learned the rest, it took like 3 years! Told one kid you’re the plumber, another you’re the electrician, another you’re HVAC. But we got it done 100% to code and made some money in the process and now we have a family who knows how to do pretty much anything — kids grew up and became software and quality control engineers but fixed up projects at a lot of friends and their grandparents houses over the years. Then a few years after that I took a year and a half to build a 2-story addition to my house for my MIL and extra living space. I did most of the work, including the crawl space. Again, I got people to do the roofing and drywall finishing. The shell was quick, but the rest takes a long time. It is rewarding and valuable.
