Question


Did Petrocelli ever manage to finish building his house or did he live happily ever after in that godawful charabang?

reply

I guess he never finished it. I remember as a kid watching this show and he building his house himself, which I found fascinating. I am now a construction contractor and I seem to remember him always laying bricks with no structure erected. Bricks are a veneer and not structural. These are usually erected about 2/3 of the way through the construction of a house, after all the structural construction is erected. Just an interesting observation.

Guess you never built a house in the UK then...where most houses are built with brick. The timber frame thing just never caught on in the UK. Just another interesting observation.

Nope...that was one of the running gags on the series. They were STILL laying down bricks for the house's foundation when the series ended.
