It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog!

"I want you to enjoy Christmas as much as I will!"

Fat chance! It's the statement of the year, concocted by "Huey", the most inept project manager this side of the Urals. He's clearly suffered a knock to his head as it is obvious there is no chance this will be finished in time for Christmas - this year.
