I think their ugly. I'd prefer a old cottage house with modern furniture. :)

So it's like, Build your own house or something? Seems kind of strange to me but If it's sold well over there maybe it will do the same over here.

It was on news, they cost like 100 grand, and you dont build it yourself, ikea buys land and they make it in the area they bought and build multiple houses. :P

oh right, lmao. :(:(. I had visions of you going to your local ikea and buying a 'house' and then it pops up and you can take it anywhere with you :D:D.

I didn't get the concept of them at first :P

No, maybe you have a different idea of rich than I am. Say somebody was a billionaire/millionaire, you'd be far from it - obviously. There's no "clearly" about it, because you are far from it.
