I had another inquiry the other day. Some licensing laws state that only homeowners can do their own work on their own dwelling as long as they reside in it. That would sound like a "Single Family Dwelling" (SFD) in my book and in most others as I am told.

NOW, what defines a SFD? If a person lived in a "Condo" or "Townhouse" would that be a SFD? I am getting many answers from many people in different areas. A "condo" means you own the 4 walls around your dwelling as well as the ceiling and the floor. Someone says that it is OK to do work inside that area only. Some say it is not.

As for a "Townhouse" Some are 2 story and the HO owns the 1st and 2nd floor. There are firewalls between units. They are allowed to do their own work in their house. It is their own SFD.

What is your thoughts? Thanks!
