Build a New Life in the Country

S05:É07 - S05:E07 - Shropshire - Mark and Patsy Norman

Mark Norman used to spend 70 hours a week working as a car salesman and missed out on his children's toddler years. He’s now retrained as a teacher and during the school holidays plans to build his own home with his wife Patsy. They bought a dilapidated bungalow on the edge of a forest in Shropshire which they’ve demolished and are now building a huge family home for their three children. But with a budget of only £60k the Normans are hit by the recession and don’t know how they are ever going to be able to finish their build.
