Lo barato sale caro. As with most sayings, that can be stated more succinctly in English: false economy.
Construction of this house (not including the slab it sits on) started less than a month ago. Everything about it is about the worst quality imaginable. It’s not even finished, and already it is beginning to look uninhabitable.

When I first started dog walking with Syd, he told me this area would fill with water in the winter. I found it hard to believe in the middle of the summer!
If I told you I took this photo in the morning, and you had spent any time in Uruguay, you would know what day of the week it was.
Yes, that is one big avocado (aquacate in Mexico; palta here). In fact, our biggest ever (by far). 1,094 grams, or, for those of you who live in Liberia, Myanmar, or the United States, 2 pounds 6-½ ounces.
But of course! 50 meters from the road, leave two red cabinet doors leaning against a tree. Kids? But why?
Nothing more to add.
