grand designs: why?

[MousyMouse]

are there (almost) never polish builders shown?

Sole you can get self cleaning glass these days.

That dining table and chairs is really horrible and doesn't go with anything in the house.

She is snooty

Wish she's do something with her hair.

Crafty, me too

Nah, still not liking the underground feel..and it all looks cold and clumsy.

Shes gonna be very lonely i bet, down there rattling about..

Feels empty. Are they going to fill it with tat once the cameras go? Don't really like her style. Looks cold.

Did they have any outside space?

Just goes to show if you have tbe £ you can do almost anything.

Next week's looks interesting.

flibbertigibbert - they lived in a studio flat for 2 years before, i guess they got used to not have much stuff, give it 12 months...

Imagine having to change all those hidden bulbs! Agree, Audrey didn't seem nice.

Another soulless white box. With some sort of brothel-like underground nightmare.

You would lose people in there all the time. What are all the rooms for?

Where is all their stuff?

yep, another one that I'm wishing babies on!

For if the leccy goes off, or just for going to the loo in the night, we have battery powered, motion activated white LED nightlights in all our halls. quite bright.

next week's looks good, yes.

I think they have one child? think kevin mentioned the neighbours getting an eyefull when he is spending the night under the roof lantern.

I liked that this time the white box at least doesn't sound like shouting into a loo bowl echoey

I was wondering what would happen if you lost the feckin remote for the opaque glass monstrosity...

I hope they have a back up generator for the pump.

Interesting but horrible finished product Just too claustrophobic. Thoroughly annoying woman too. Agree the glass roof would be a nightmare

Also just thought - surely it would be incredibly stuffy with the lack of windows. And what if you passed wind? It would just linger. Sorry to lower the tone, but I just can't get my head round it

Lexi - do you have a link for those lights?

I'll ask DH. Think he got them off an amazon seller.
oh hang on. here they are

The pump would freak me out. Surely it will fail at some point and the place will flood.

Those lights are a brilliant idea (scuse the pun)

Awful - that house is a health and safety nightmare! What if there was a fire or a power cut? Also, a house with no fresh air would surely stink and have condensation issues? It really freaked me out watching it and I have no idea why!
