Basically it's a TV program about a house being built from cnc cut plywood. Not a ShopBot, but a similar size and style machine, and interestingly it was kept in a shipping container, delivered to site, and still in its container used to cut all the thousands of bits of ply needed in the house. The ply bits were assembled into boxes and the walls of the house built using these boxes. The boxes were later filled with recycled newspaper insulation (Warmcell I guess).

I'm afraid only viewers in the UK can watch this (unless you can find a workaround).

"Kevin meets Celia and Diana, who plan a state-of-the-art home that will be the world's first computer-cut house.

University professors Celia and civil partner Diana want a modern home to retire to. Having renovated several older properties, they are now keen to build their home from scratch.

Not content with all the usual hurdles, they've decided to pioneer an entirely new way of building and will construct the world's first computer-cut house.

Celia and Diana are bravely acting as guinea pigs for a team of young industrial designers who came up with the system but have never built a house before.

Nothing these two have ever done can adequately prepare them for what lies ahead."
