Not me now but the basics if I'm to get someone to knock up house for me it would be concrete posts, steel roof structure, roof cover optional, obviously doors and windows and the lookalike wood planks manufactured from reclaimed hardwood and polymer from recycled polyethylene to cover a concrete panel floor and walls..
