Welcome to the forum. Nine Kids?????? Looks like you already have discovered one hobby!

The obstacles you mention (funds, knowledge, etc) sound very familiar. Most of us are, or were there at one time. When you have other prioritys for your time and money you have to be creative to handle those and still pursue building your dream. Took me 6 years to build mine, but was worth the wait in the end.

You will get there.
