That's so cool, building a house is one of my dreams. Although I'd definitely need some exernal help as my DIY skills are on a par with Homer Simpson and his spice rack.

The only problem it seems is that decent plots of land in the UK cost an absolute fortune. One of my favorite shows is Channel 4's Grand Designs and it seems that many of the people they have on the show who aren't super-rich have either inherited or been given the land that they build their houses on.
