I don't know how limited your work space is, but I think you should go ahead and get the plans. I've found that a lot of the fun in this is the planning and thinking things through and figuring out how to do different steps. The anticipation is almost as good as the doing. It can be a bit frustrating if you are eager to get a boat on the water, but you can force yourself to learn to love the process. :-)

If you can carve out just a small space and do the parts you can at whatever pace you can, it will still give you a lot of satisfaction and probably keep you from working too fast and making mistakes that will lead to more head banging. Study, read, think, take small steps, etc. Then when the big space and chunks of time free up again, you'll be ready to make fast progress. If you wait until then to order the plans again, you'll be starting all over.
