- Geoff and Margaret Shipp have been ripped off by cowboy builders. Geoff is in the final stages of motor neurone disease, and their family and friends are worried that his precious days are being spent dealing with difficult living conditions and incredible stress.
- They paid for their barn in Tunstall in Suffolk to be converted into a home where they could spend their retirement. They agreed for the work to be finished in March last year, but they have been left with a building site.
- The state the property has been left in is causing it to deteriorate still further, as it isn't even water-tight.
- The couple are spending their nights in the property, despite the fact it is uninhabitable.
- The couple has no heating, running water, or a working bathroom.
- The couple is concerned that even the work that has been completed is not up to standard.
- In many areas their concern is understandable. They have had to bring in a new builder to repair much of the work.
- The couple are doing what they can to put the cowboy builder's work right, but work has halted as they have run out of money
