Grand Designs: West Cumbria

SYNOPSIS

Despite having no architectural training former blacksmith Alan Dawson has invented his own revolutionary way of building a house. The method is like a giant Meccano set that Alan is going to make in pieces in his workshop; with wiring, lighting, plumbing, and even carpets built into the sections which are then taken to site by lorry for assembly. Within seven days the house will be up, or so he hopes.
