Could you recommend resources for the topics you mention as good to learn?

  I moved to Poland and built a house there. I can recommend some Polish-language resources here. Where are you planning on building the house?

    Ah, I'm not the op but I'd like to build a house some day, as of now Africa feels like a likely suspect.

  If you look for the desired task on YouTube you will find a LOT of REALLY USEFUL resources ranging from 2 [1] minutes video to 30-minutes [2] long video with all necessary details. In addition to the parent's advice, I would say for you to prototype/test the technique/task you are trying to accomplish before doing it in the actual part. You will screw it up even the simpler tasks so make sure you screw up something that you don't care about before trying it in "production".

  My landlord's son-in-law was telling me about his adventures building a house. He seems very capable and takes on a general philosophy of "this is actually not that hard" which makes everything seem more accessible. He's been blogging about it at http://www.savingsustainably.com http://www.savingsustainably.com and you can see the whole process up until now (house is still under construction, I believe).
