Then again, those tin roofs in the Phils aren't much good for a peaceful nights sleep when it's chucking it down. :biggrin:

Stick a dozen or so up Park Lane in London, leave a case of cheap vodka in the back.... soon they'll full of drunk Romanians, then all you have to do is shut the door and ship them back.

I still think a couple of 12metre containers would be ideal if converted correctly and professionally, insulated, tiled roof, ect.!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Much cheaper and cooler to build a timber house that size in the Phils....or concrete block for that matter. :anerikke:
