One more consideration you might want to think about (and here we could ask Kavir to shed some light) is the question of whether a 14 year old can legally grant permission for your mud to use his or her work. Would you need his parent's permission or not? (This point came up on a previous mud I worked for).

As for the technical aspects of building (and whether 14 year olds are flaky), I know plenty of over-18 flakes who cannot read or write - you should not let the age of the builder decide things for you. But do let the builder demonstrate their level of commitment by the way they stick to their promises. I'm not suggesting you blindly promote anyone who says they want to build for you, but I do suggest you take people at their word, and see how (or if) they deliver.
