you may consider buying one of these.

Absolutely brilliant, interesting documentary on Discovery at the moment on how they built it 'Impossible Builds'.

The documentary is really interesting from an engineering point of view. Not as easy as it might look. Also the underwater windows need cleaning on the outside.....every day!!

The documentary is also worth watching for the 'marine logistics expert' that they employed to move the thing from dry dock to ocean. A delicate and very precise, complex manoeuvre. Basically he stood there puffing away on a cigar waving his arms about and shooting at everybody.

Clueless in most things
It would just be my luck that I buy one and the neighbour next door rents theirs out on airnb and I get party houses every day of the week. I bet the "service charge" is not at local council level either.

It did occur to me as well -'they are going to be packed pretty tight next to each other so you could get a load of pikeys next to you. Money doesn't always bring good behaviour with it.
