grand designs: why?

[MousyMouse]

are there (almost) never polish builders shown?

[hgrin]

Aha! the answer.. i'd love to mow my roof - satisfying i bet

Where is this place where they are now? Looks amazing

They were at the Findhorn Foundation, nr Inverness.
I grew up near there!

thanks Hazel

Love the fact that so many of the locals seem supportive / interested. Unlike some of the other houses featured on Grand Designs which seem intent on annoying their neighbours!

That looks great Hazel!

Anyone else want to give Donald a big hug? he looked so worried there!

There's a big move in Scotland towards this style of building and it's fab; know of lots of places anywhere between Perth, Aberdeen and Skye lives in a larch clad shed too

He's a lovely man!

yes, lovely builder.

There doesn't seem to be that many trees on Skye. Dim question, but will they need to bring wood for their stove over from the mainland?

oricella

oybbb peat?

at least they used peat in the bunkhouse on skye where we stayed.

the views and landscape looks bloody amazing!!!

Lots of buildings around here (Pembrokeshire) are Larch clad too oricella. DSs dentists is for starters, it's silvered pretty quickly with the sea wind and rain.. lovely!

Yes, lots of turf.

Though they might have to change that - it will eventually run out.

This is lovely.

Love that the locals are interested and can see its value.

Such nice locals.

Such a nice, intelligent couple.

Even Kevin is nicer this week.

God, it is beautiful there! Great advert for Skye...

Oh, peat hadn't occurred to me!

Love it!

wasn't expecting that interior!
