I built my own house with no experience. It was very easy. Houses today are built out of crappy material like OSB and 2x6. Important factors are R-value for your area, Snow Load for the roof pitch, and frost level. I would start off with a shed and learn these things, plus framing a wall, building a load bearing wall, and roofing. Basically the hardest part is following the code, getting permits and inspection. If I were to do it all again, I would buy a steel house kit and then do everything else from that. I have since bought a backhoe and various construction equipment but I also own a farm. My dream home would be a "Californian Ranch Style" with Victorian inside crown trim, vaulted ceilings, built out the steel frame and redwood that I harvested, milled, and planed myself (which would required to get green tag) nickle, gold, and bronze plated cast iron decals and Gothic marble style polished epoxy cement flooring and fake ivory and 11 ft walls with vaulted ceiling and a huge fireplace. It would take me 15 years to make and I would have to learn how to use a wood lathe.
