It was supposed to be a simple extension that would turn a small 1930s bungalow into one couple's dream home.
But for Samantha Wright, 46, and her partner Craig Smith, 54, their routine build turned into a toxic two-year-long nightmare that has left them facing a £200,000 bill due to the alleged fault of their own neighbour.
The couple from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, say contractor Cristian Wooller, who has strongly denied the allegations, abandoned the job before it was finished.
They claim not only was their house left as a building site, they have had to tear up the work that was done and start again.
Therefore despite saying they paid their nextdoor neighboor £90,000 for the work, they have had to fork out another £140,000 to have it all redone brick by brick.
