Designing your own house may be more stressful than you imagine. If you have a family, it is most likely that not everyone is going to be able to get exactly what they want in a new house. Many things may be beyond the budget and so decisions will have to be made that might cause stress between family members.

There are so many things that can go wrong in the course of building a house that you can never envision until they happen.
Now that computers have come into the picture you don't have to go to an architect and pay him to make all the drawings for you. It was difficult to make him put on paper what you had as an idea in your mind and to see what it would really look like. Now though, they have some super computer 3D programs that will give you an excellent idea of what you want your house and rooms to look like and you can experiment all you want on your own time to get it just right. This is a huge step up from days gone by where everything had to be drawn on paper.
