No. Do not do this, ever. I will never understand why people think this is a good idea. It is not.

"Well I have nailed some shingles and reglazed windows so I'm just as smart as you"
Lol this is the problem

A possible solution is to hire an architect as a consultant. Agree that both of you will go along with his/her suggestions. Make the architect the bad guy.
This is what I am doing. The process has been relatively simple. When you have a guy who has designed a variety of houses over the years, he knows what works and what does not work, trends, etc. When you have a pro telling the wife why this works or does not work, she goes along with it.
The only thing she changed her mind on was the design of the exterior facade.
An architect makes design nearly stress free.

Those damned home remodeling shows are a scourge upon the earth. They're a bigger problem than social media for your average married baw.

Where do you build? BTR area? Prices in BTR are mind boggling to me. It’s Baton Ruuuge!

Just make a blueprint version that satisfies her and then give a different one to the builders. She probably isn't going to measure the rooms after it's built.

My first wife wanted a laundry chute from the 2nd flooral master bath to the laundry room in the finished basement... but didnt want it to pass through the kitchen...

We bought 20 acres with an older home on it with the intent to build another home in 5 or so years.
We of course have a mortgage on the older house and property. My wife cannot understand that we can't just go tearing down the old house until the mortgage is paid off.

My husband and I rennovated two properties in NOLA and we bought this farm and lived in the log cabin part while we BOTH did the old house. I'm as smart as most me who do construction, and what I don't have in strength, I make up in thinking.

Easy solution, be a man and tell her to stop squawking.

exactly Liz, what do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Let her build it the way she wants, she's gonna kick you out in a few years anyway.

The more damaging show on the tube right now, not just for women. But for guys thinking they can watch, then thinking they can do a project.
After watching the Property Brothers renovate two houses near me, I am convinced those mother frickers should be in jail. Putting aside the fact the only goal was to film a television show, with a home remodel only a means to that end, and their workmanship and cost was laughably fraudulent, the worst thing they have done is take these two projects that took them nine months each to complete and put them into three episodes. And this was pre-covid.
It has totally convinced the average person that you can do a down to studs remodel in a matter of weeks.
