I am 52. I won't consider building from scratch.
My brother in law built a house near Deadwood, SD. It took 1.5 years longer than expected and cost more than 2x the original plan.
Now that it is built, he has to do the driveway and landscaping and finish parts that weren't finished because of the cost overruns.
It is about 99 on my top 100 things to do. Maybe if you have to ask, you know the answer.
