One of the books I've listed over at the discussion group, "The Owner-Builder Book: How You Can Save More than $100,000 in the Construction of Your Custom Home, Third Edition" by Mark A. and Elaine M. Smith has it's own website. I'm already hooked. It's essentially a list of blogs from people who are building their own homes. The site is really a mess, slow, poorly laid out and you can't really tell what level or segment of the site your are in, but - the information is good. So far, I haven't found anything on AAC block construction, but there are quite a few ICF homes being built by the owners.
The good thing about reading information from this site is that you get a feeling for the trials and tribulations that the owner-builders go through. You can learn from their mistakes, the difficulties in dealing with subcontractors, and basic "how we did it" information. If you can deal with the cluttered site layout, it's definitely worth checking out: The owner builder book website.
