I'm a linux newbie. How does one build a separate kernel on the home directory other than the usual /usr/src/linux location. Is it possible to do so? Can someone elaborate the steps?

Please see The Ubuntu Kernel Team wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
You can build a kernel anywhere you want, you do not need to su root or anything to build a kernel.
Also see, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel
Which has a page for about every kernel hacking topic you can think of.
