Baz and his army of volunteers and designers got to work on the land - giving themselves a mammoth task of a new-build in the space of nine days.

And Baz Ashmawy is the only man for the job. Another added: "DIYSOS is everything that is good in this world. My heart is broken and I’m in floods of tears.
