grand designs: why?

[MousyMouse]

are there (almost) never polish builders shown?

Oh, how did they get such a beautiful day to film

Woah, i didn't think they'd go so white and stark inside.. thought it would be cosier

oh Kev, you're not as tall as you think you are...

not keen on the interior

too modern and stark

Wow! (On delay now)

This is the most sensible conversation I have heard on GD for years.

They couldn't afford it, so they didn't do it.

Good on them.

Oh it's lovely.

It has some soul. And they seem lovely. I hope Skye works out for them, island life dorsn't suit everyone

It will be cosy when they fill it with their art and their bits. I bet it will be beautiful in a couple of years.

They are artists, they will take their time, they don't need instant gratification.

I like it! a lot!

And they are having a party. How lovely.

Hands up who wants to move to Skye?!

there's more forest on Skye then you'd expect OYBB - and the mainland isn't that far away... It's really lovely isn't it

Love also that long haired lady neighbour and teenage boy neighbour wore some bright blue to match the decor.

This programme has made me smile.

[happy sigh]

Kev really likes it. Don't think he's ever thanked anyone before.

It's lovely. Nice little cosy house. You need cosy in a place like that.

I wouldn't. too cold. well in such a house maybe...

A very sweet and warming programme that one

"This programme has made me smile."

Yep, me too. It, them, tis all just - lovely.

Awwww Kevin!

It's gorgeous oricella!

Wow, Kevin really liked that one didn't he? Lovely to see what can be acheived with saving and dreaming. I was surprised they didn't go more modern and cosy too. With the weather there I'd be wanting warm and snuggly rather than glossy and clean lines. But it was very lovely, with all the green and blue tones linking it to the view. Clever stuff!

Sorry, meant "more warm and cosy"

I think if he goes back in a year or so it will be full of Aran knitting, and crochet rugs, and colourful wall hangings, and really cosy.

I loved it.

I wouldn't live there though I'd say they filmed on the only sunny day of the year.

They were lovely but I hated the house when finished.Horrible cold dated interior. Lovely views though
