though you do not have a license. You must provide direct, on-site supervision of the construction yourself. You
may build or improve farm outbuildings, a one-family or two-family residence for your use and occupancy. You
may also build or improve a commercial building at a cost not exceeding $75,000.00 as long as it is for your own
use or occupancy. You may not build or improve said structures for the purposes of selling or leasing that building.
