So I'm thinking about building a house within a year. One of my roomates just started his house that he's building and for him it's a pain in the ass. I want to know, for those of you that have your own house, would you reccommend building over buying anyday? Or was building just too much of a hassel? I'm trying to decide whether or not it'd be better to build one or just buy one. Can anyone here give some input on building a house?
