i have bills for moor than £12,000 so please dont think any corners have been cut

Oh dear - I feel someone will be wanting close to the £12k he's spent collecting the parts for this.

It's got to be worth about the £1500 it's currently sitting at.

We shall see....

Plans may now concentrate on the 80 already in the family, as nick mentioned.

And that's what it started at.. I wonder what the reserve is?

Love to know how he has spent 12 grand!

He's probably done what a lot of people do and factored in labour costs for their own time... and greatly overestimated it.
