Looked to me like all the bits had been dropped from a great height and bolted together where they landed. Far too many awkward angles.

Bit of a contrast to last weeks Huff house which was constructed in less than a week. ie the brit option with building on site taking 2 years plus.

Both options look similar, like livening in conservatory or goldfish bowl!!!!

Also, any guesses on the final cost of this house when he finally gets it finished.

He said he was about 3 times over budget, and they had guessed his initial budget to be in the region of £1million, he is the proud owner of a £3million half finished petrol station

he's a top guy, and full respect for insisting on the sort of quality that most british firms can't be arsed to deliver noadays - compare and contrast his supplier experinces (glazing not fitting, metal work welds shoddy, finishes incorrect on some of the panels etc etc, roof) with the huff haus guys.....!

It's his money and he's enjoying spending it. Good Luck to him.
