I'm close to finishing a 50sqm pole barn solo build in my sparetime around my tech job that has taken about 4 months from ground works starting.
The carpentry was easily the best part, and the part that I really enjoyed. The concreting and steel roofing/cladding parts were pretty brutal though. Admittedly a pro could justify spending on better tools than I had but still it has taken a toll on my aging body.
But even the carpentry would be hell trying to do that work under commercial pressure on other peoples projects - never mind that carpenters are generally worse paid than most other trades despite usually taking on the bulk of the project responsibilities.
As sick as I am of tech, I would rather stick to carpentry as a 'hobby'.
