This house was built in that manner. One difference, my Dad was there every day to check on the work and to make sure no corners were cut. The fam wouldn’t wait until Sunday afternoon. We there often throughout the week. We weren’t allowed inside very often as we could accidentally damage the work in progress, but our visits weren’t limited to just once in a while.
My wife visited our home as it was being built. One day the the man tiling our bathroom complained about the floor not being level. She went to the foreman to pass on his complaint. The foreman said “Don’t pay any attention to him, you should have seen him when he was really drinking.”
(It turns out the tiler was right).
