One house took over 5 years to complete & looks awful.
Another lune decides to spend upwards of £1M or so on doing up a disused lifeboat station in Tenby. I wonder how many force 10, 11, or 12 gales they've experienced since finishing it.
Yesterday's epic was a couple who wanted more space to store their collection of treasures, updated an Elizabethan/Georgian barn, then decided it looked better without the collection of junk.

The main thing everyone wants is a house with 9X the square footage of a normal house, which they then leave as a giant room. A £1m house in the country you can't invite 10 people round to stay seems broken to me.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

They deserve to be bankrupt at the end of that one, even if his parents had given them the land and the barn as a starting point.Comment

Carefully forgetting the 2000 foot deep hole in the garden, no doubt.
That big chimeny didn't look too safe either!!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Haven't watched that episode yet, but in Cornwall there are quite a few converted mine-houses - is that where this one was set? I would have assumed so but Cornwall's more famed for tin mining.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
