I am also building my own house (husband is really) - the costs of EVERYTHING has gone up. Wood, nails, plumbing, windows everything is way more than our initial estimates thanks to Covid. Also delays! Windows taking 4-6 months, an electrical box (specifically required by electric company) on back order for 18 months. Those are some of the things we have dealt with so far.

We are 6 months off schedule now, but it’s the money that’s the worst. Thankfully the costs of lumber are starting to come down.
