Go for it man. I added an entire house on top of my existing house. My place was built on the side of a hill like a walk out basement one side completely buried two sides sloped and the other at the lower grade and framed with wood. the three sides with dirt are 12" block filled with cement and rebar. The guy who started my house liked to over build and my ceiling choices instead of being just rafters we're actually floor joists is for a future second floor.
I hired a good framer and in one week it went from the roof being torn off to the roofback on. we did however put rubber roofing on the floor to protect me in case of a rainstorm after the original roof was torn off. the new walls and rafters or installed and I put a bigger ranch house on top of my existing house adding about 2000 square feet. It's not a project for you and your buddies to tackle. Get a pro. I hired out all framing siding roofing drywalling/taping and trim. I pretty much did all the mechanical heating plumbing and electrical myself. My dad who is a retired carpenter was in valuable on the project. I also had a 16 year old son of my buddy that I hired to help me. He learned a pile and it toughened him up.
It was alot cheaper to go up than out. I still have all my services laundry etc on the second floor. I also have a ground level entrance on the second floor so I wasn't concerned with climbing steps all the time.
