[quote=Anonymous]As others have pointed out, it really depends on your money situation.  If you have the cash, then go for it.  One thing that will help tremendously is to hire a project manager - someone entirely separate from your contractor/designer/architect who will come to the job every day to make sure things are done correctly, are done on time and basically manage the project.  Home inspectors can often do this.  And I highly recommend an interior designer, someone to help with finishes, paint etc.  You should also have enough cash to live elsewhere during the construction.  We lived through a major overhaul (new kitchen, 3 baths, floors, ceilings, asbestos removal, new windows etc.) with a 6 year-old, 3 year-old and baby and it was hell.  Try feeding 3 kids with a two ring burner, not good times.  We only got through it because my husband works from home and became the de facto general contractor.  But we spent endless hours debating and making decisions, stressing about money and everything else that goes with a major project.  In the end, we love our house but never again.[/quote]
