Nice and cosy little home, no neighbours breathing down your neck about getting the lawn mowed.

It's pathetic in NZ how we laugh and mock people who don't live like most others. God help our stupid tall poppy syndrom. This guy is living fine, his own way. But this is a mocking programme anyway!

I would love a house like this but im also terrified of spiders and that house looks like it has loads of them

Maori to want to live like this. Wonder what would be said then if one Maori had all that land living free minding their own business. I doubt if it would be allowed. Im glad someones getting away with it.
