Not necessarily. I think he was going to end up looking like Andre the Giant.

Looked like a school building.
Fair enough that they are comfortable with their lifestyle and body proportions but their kid looked like a prime bully target.

Shame they'll probably drop dead of obese related causes in a few years.

Out of interest, what is the oldest age a person of such 'stature' has survived to? I'd guess 70s at best.

And no I'm not going to ask how old SA is! By the time she comes back to the fold, most of hers will have disappeared if she keeps up the good progress.

I am of the opinion that, in this particular case, the planner should be shot!!

They were a strange couple. I liked the idea of moving the windows so that they short woman could see through them, but anyone over 5' couldn't!

Agreed. Their temporary cottage was much nicer!

I think the cedar will age nicely and the roof would grow well over time, so from the rear it will be less obvious, but it looked like a sports centre from the front. Totally out of character against the lime kilns.
