In Britain a " brick shit house" was a communal outdoor lavatory
shared by multiple households in the old slums. It's the very opposite
of an architectural compliment.
This house was BUILT for TONS of clay tiles on the roof! And barely ANY
LEAKS NOW!!

Our island home is in a fabulous coastal location, wild and windy,
views to die for. Climate change is coming so seven years ago we got the
ageing rooftiles completely stripped and retiled. It's totally leakproof
even in 100 mph gales. Also, when we moved in we had the house
completely rewired to the very high spec designed by my husband
(electronic design engineer).
Sad that Kuthe's only had his place a year and already he's running
out of capital and can't afford the upkeep. That's obviously a problem
for people who don't earn their own money.
