Some localities/states are more restrictive than others and might require you to be licensed in some of the trades.

Generally though, if you are building a house to live in yourself you can do most of the construction as long as the work meets local building codes, especially in rural areas where codes may not be enforced. If you are doing work for others you would probably need a license, particularly for plumbing, heating, and electrical work. Other than that its fairly simple--pay the fees for building permits and have at it.

I'm just starting my 3d. First was in Minnesota-pretty tough restrictions but it was near Mpls. 2nd was in rural Colorado but still near Denver-I could do everything but the septic system and gas furnace. The place I'm starting now is in very, very rural Colorado and they don't have any enforced building codes although require a state inspection for plumbing and electrical. I can still do everything myself.

40 Acres in Wales? You could probably sell that for $$$ and buy several times as much land and pay for the house too in many areas here across the pond.

Good luck!
