If it's not your "I'm gonna stay in it forever and ever Dream House", I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the aggravation. Unless you just have a LOT of free time on your hands to have 20 or 30 nervous breakdowns. Talk to a builder who is putting up new homes in certain areas. Usually, they'll let you pick the colors and even make minor structural changes if you get with them before the house is done.

When you do it all from the ground up you'll be ready to kill someone after the 300th call to ask you stuff like, "Where do you want the plugs in the dining room?", "Do you want the carpet to go into the closet?", "Where do you want me to drill the hole on the deck of the tub for the sprayer nozzle?", "So did you only want 2 burners on your gas top, because that's all that came with it?", "Unfortunately, the (blah blah something I have no clue about) we were going to use is not in stock, so we'll have to back order it. Would it be okay if we just used (blah blah something else I've never fucken heard of) instead?" And the biggest one that you might as well go ahead and acquaint yourself with - "We're gonna need $(insert huge amount) extra, for that."
