Do not want to move

Completely renovating a house we've bought a year ago. DH took upon himself to manage a team of builders, consisting of his family members. They are builders, but not a project managers. It's been going for a year, they have already made so many foolish decisions in the planning/designing that I have no more wish to argue about everything with my DH and left it to them. I don't even want to move into a new home when it is finally ready. All this dragging and, especially, over ordering of everything, wasting lots of materials, left us almost with no money for furniture in a new house. We are renting fully furnished accommodation at present, so don't have anything.
This is so stressful, I can't eat or function normally anymore.
AIBU to throw in the towel and...I don't know... I hate the house already 😭 DH is thinks I am crazy and 'every house build is like that'

Looks like your DH has made a series of bad decisions in employing family and worse, not treating it as a proper project with tight financial controls (and of course not every house build is like that!) but when you finally get to the end (whenever that may be) you will be able to enjoy the house and make it a home.
Of course there is always going to be regret at the time and money wasted but unless you can move on from this, it is going to tear you apart.

Moving somewhere else at the end is no way to get over it as even if it is affordable, will you continue to regret the move, waste of time and money?
