If Michael Nelson wants to access the back half of his home, he has to go out the front door, walk through the muddy backyard and enter through an unfinished back door.
The doorway which would have joined the original house to the new extension has been boarded up after his builder went into liquidation earlier this year. Although Mr Nelson says he had paid about 90 per cent of the total cost of the build, the house is far from finished.
"Everything just ground to a halt right then," he said.
