How not to build a house

The wrong way.

I hope someone told him you should never come
down a ladder the same way you went up ... head first !:D

Apart from the roof, is there something I'm missing?

Is it a pool house with a seasonal waterfall Joe ? :U

Unless the roof is intended to leak, no. Although it also seems to be missing lintels above the second-story windows, upon closer inspection.

I noticed that too, but I think I've seen the same design detail previously in old houses. The lintel would only be one course of brick high and is replaced with a timber beam.

when tiling you start at the bottom

Exactly. That's the most glaring error.

Looks like he might have the barge mold up first as well
ie the moulding bit that goes over the barge baord and the tiles

And there is no overhang either.
