And then, if your ideas get larger and you wanted to expand - why, a dig and a scrape and there you are! If you feel your house is a bit too big you stop up a hole or two, and there you are again! No builders, no tradesmen, no remarks passed on you by fellows looking over your wall, and, above all, no weather.
