To set it up, the whole family had to put all hands on deck as they employed a car jack to place the house on some blocks.
They were able to stretch out the folded parts of the house. After spending hours on installation, the setup was completed.
In a subsequent video, the man revealed how much he spent for those asking him for the price of the house. He paid 20,000 AUD (R220 000) for the building and the shipment was R56 000.
