The woodsman house was possibly the best one for me. Especially the revisited on where he now had a wife and family.

Yup. There was also the joiner's house aiming for self sufficiency (oriental wife, big lump of tree trunk as staircase and main support).

The one you're referring to is Ben Law's - two tenuous links in that the chap jamming on a guitar in the episode is an acquaintance, and I use his charcoal on my smoker!

I wonder how many children Kevin Has spawned since the series began?

Hundreds.

he has basically shacked up with ALL the wives and daughters-of-age on the show, capturing them at the low point of their build when the husband's focus is entirely on the build schedule and the delivery of some rare-Earth minerals that are being used to decorate the sewage outflow pipe, and has impregnated them all, some of them mutliple times, and the husbands still haven't noticed all these extra children because the house has gone £200,000 over budget and the Italian sculpted kitchen sink fell off the back of the van.

Hopefully they will show more houses like the bloke that was living in the cave. Less huge windowed all tiled houses that look like car showrooms would be nice.

Looks like it'll be a tree house as the plot has 27 trees of which all are protected.

Swiss cheese house with holes for the trees?

He looks much like Kevin to be fair.

Baby potential?

It's not really a tree house , more a house on stilts.

[anonymous-user]

No way £268k unless there are some serously cheap materials used.

My guess £400k.

Well just read the Wail article and it appears they did it for £280 ish. What do I know
