grand designs: why?

[MousyMouse]

are there (almost) never polish builders shown?

i thought it was the best grand designs ever.

pacy build, lots going wrong, magic transformation of massive, beautifully made building.

nice owners whose ethos i could relate to (even though budget was very seat-of-pants and at the same time beyond dreams of avarice!)

i loved the way they just carries on 'squatting' on the yard around to get the build finished!

it would make a fabulous boutique hotel, though i doubt it would be disability legislation compliant (they looked embarrassingly close in that lift, didn't they?). Though if they did have a child, wouldn't you live in the cube bit mostly?

GD-fans, you have GOT to go and have a squizz at 'Grand Designs Australia' on 4od!!! different presenter but you can still play Kevin bingo. We've just watched N episode with an artist/sculptor and web designer in Yellingbo. Slightly disconcerted that he looks like a love child product of Ken Barlow and Brian Sewell but they are a nice couple and the build is special. Should be getting my stuff ready for tmrw but were just startingo another episode...

yes lexi have watched it yesterday.
that white floor! beautiful.

Anyone watching tonight?

Are we ready for this evening's episode?!
I'm going to watch it in bed (feeling a bit under the weather) and I can't MN from the bedroom. So I'll catch up in the morning! [hgrin]

yep, sitting tight. the description sounds bonkers promising.

Oo enjoy Ola, hope you feel better tomorrow.

she seems nice

Oooh here you are :)

Missed first 5 mins. What was building before what going to be after pkease?

Green with envy

no building. just a studio flat + basement of a georgian? artists mansion. in holland park/london.
last week's build was cheap in comparison (I suspect).

in all about 4000 square feet

This looks interesting but I can't work it out

Ha ha Sole, hiya

Building was originally Artists studios.. shes developing the underground bit.. think its gonna be a tough one

Thank you mouse :)

Several million to spe.d. Omg looks absolutely perfect doesn't it?

Hi Jellykat :)

have to leave you now. dh needs wants the internet and the computer is broken...

I will probably end up eating my words, but the underground element would make me feel buried i'm sure..

Did anyone see the George Clarke thing, with that converted underground public loo? Amazing!

hate it when they don't disclose prices

Oh thats a bugger Mousy!..

No, haven't seen that Hazel..

Did any of you watch the small spaces programme last night? The Lady whom converted the underground ladies n gents toilets? Was amazing and had the transparent almost walkway thing in her ceiling?

Nn mouse :)

Really wanted to see the loo conversion and I am so jealous of this pair!

Are you and Hazel talking about the same thing Sole? Sounds interesting!
