For people that keep banging on about how expensive it is, and how they need it to pay it's way, they certainly bring in some expensive people to advise / do the work.
Like that custom made cistern that they bought last week.

Well she has the assets to emulate what Melinda Messenger blagged for free on that Cowboy Builders programme.
I wonder what Melinda did instead of flashing the cash.
Page 3 seems so tame now the internet is the daddy.

I normally could not give 2 hoots about this but watching the problems she was having yesterday with the planning people made my blood boil.
She has turned what was a firkin wreck into a lovely country house and some bollock juggling jobs worth is going on a power trip
no wonder public sector is fooked - it is full of people who you would not employ to shovel tulip

Is she still hinting at selling the place (she did in the two episodes I watched recently)?
If so I get the feeling this 'restoration nightmare' is really just a thinly veiled showcase to drum up interest.

Mostly due to the waste of skin and oxygen at the local planning office.
I'm amazed that more of these people don't get offed by enraged citizens.
Although the fella they keep showing from the planning office does look like a proper jobsworth
I think the selling thing is a good peice off telly, there is no way they are gonna sell unless they have gone bankcrupt

Dunno if she's pregnant though.

Zeity - looks like you will be getting another dose of Beeny this year.
Not sure if she will be with child though.
Village SOS.

Something the Grand Designs mob don't seem to bother with when 'construction has been delayed due to bad weather'. Probably makes for more dramatic tv.

I missed the beginning but when they were estimating all the repair costs and it came to 100k I was thinking knock it down and start again.
Don't know why they said it would be 25k to fix the roof. The slates were reusable. Is wood and a bit of labour really that expensive?
I get the feeling there was a bit of sensationalism going on. How unusual.

Good idea. Anonymity is the best policy when divulging one's biggest secrets on a public forum.

Maybe she's got shares in dyno-rod.
I wish they'd ease up on their blinding marketing ploy of getting all the chavettes to day-glo themselves in orange fake tan. It's taking the pith. [see avatar for punch-line]
