Worryingly, I think that's actually smaller than the one that my
neighbour's built (about 90% by himself and his son) for his hardwood
flooring business. I keep meaning to ask him if I can snag some photos to
share; the quality of the work is pretty impressive. It's got two bogs in
it now, its own deck, and a bedroom on the upper floor :-)

cheers

Jules

I had to laugh at "The concrete truck arrived at 4 AM". Must have
understanding neighbours.

Neighbours? He lives in the middle of a desert in the Southern USA. I expect
the nearest neighbours are 40 minutes away.


Watch the video properly, and you can see the neighbouring houses are
only just the other side of the fence.

Indeed. Also, I initially thought "why all that insulation in the walls
and ceiling and none under the floor?". Then I realised that it was to
keep the heat *out* and that heat rising through the floor may not be a
problem. Not totally convinced, though!

Given that they seemed to be using a jackhammer to remove the lawn,
maybe the soil is on the rock-hard side?

They did make some comment along those lines IIRC.
