I've read in the Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben that the longer a tree sits and spends waiting, the longer they tend to live even after that, the stronger their wood. But it may only work for some sorts of trees.
How does your partner feel about all of this?

Welcome to Permies, and congratulations on your adventure!
You have a lot going on, and its wise to let go - even if just for now - of that what feels overwhelming. Autumn is a better season for planting trees and shrubs anyway![]()
I'm enjoying reading the good and friendly advice from those who replied before me, plus your reply on theirs just now.
Even though it's tempting to repeat some things, I won't, but instead add something we're adhering to here in our own renovation-and-starting-situation: Go with the flow.
Trying to be sensitive to our own energy levels, the mood, the vibes...it becomes a second nature at some point, not to listen too much to the demanding Mind but more to the gentleness of the intuition within you and in nature. There's an innate wisdom within nature, balancing out the energy flows.
Good luck, take pictures of the developments and remember to celebrate the little wins in between!

I want to post more on here to keep a kind of journal for myself, to share info, and to connect with others interested in the same things. I have had a long aversion to getting engaged on the internet because it didn't seem 'real' to me, but somehow I've gotten over it now.
