Prefab Houses

Great idea. Great concept. But there is a problem. Housebuilders are too fucking thick to embrace change.

 

Why the fuck it still takes 24 weeks to build a house in a field when in the same time you can get 30 storeys high in steel and concrete in the middle of a city centre I'll never understand.

 

That's ignoring the couple of years planning the commercial build before any groundworks commence though... as you well know :D

My missus was brought up in a prefab in Rossall Road (Tun Fowt). Breeze block ends with curved corrugated steel roof which formed the front and back walls.

 

Moving into a semi detached council house was "like moving into a palace".

Used to do the grass on that estate. One absolute loon came out screaming that he'd collected a bucket full of grass that had somehow posted itself through his letterbox.

:D There were a lot of loons around there mate! One very Mod mate from that same street used to wear very sharp suits, shirts etc. and often paired them with mill clogs!
