However, and I hate to mention this.....


But one huff and a puff, and well, we know the rest.

Don't suppose the little pigs bothered with planning authorities though, has he?

While I like projects like this. Saying that they cost £150 is a bit of a lie the land value is not included and there are no facilitys i.e. power and water.

Saw it on Clarkes amazing spaces looked good to me.

As mentioned he has a fridge ? Hole in floor, water is from a stream. I bed. Nice stove for heating though.

Most of the stuff he got free hence the low costs.

The thing is he BUILT the cottage for £150 is not necessarily a lie, he probably had the land already and the fact he has no facilities is not the point.

She pays the rent with milk

I wonder how he gets it out of her

If he uses a bucket and straw for a loo, it's only a matter of time before he has the materials for an extension
