That's what I meant anyway.
They're not available because they're out of stock?

Theres a lake around here where you can rent a plot of land by the side of the lake. Some people put a stationary caravan on he plot, other people buy a log cabin (aka shed  )

Re: Flat pack houses at Argos!
I'd rather move out the country, buy an old building for £10,000 and do it up.
Property is much cheaper abroad so one day that is what I intend to do.

Re: Flat pack houses at Argos!
I was flicking channels the other week and came across someone who did get their house flat packed from Scandinavia in one of those many programs about other peoples houses.Seemed quite nice and value for money.The only thing is that they mentioned that all wooden houses are difficult to insure.
