grand designs: why?

[MousyMouse]

are there (almost) never polish builders shown?

It looks as though it will be interesting this week.
I hope this week's people are more appealing than those from last week though!

I like them already.

Wow, am watching..anyone else?

Now that is one helluva building!!

They're great - so positive and enthusiastic.

Wow - what a building!

oh I want it to work, I really do...!

He used to be my landlord. Does that mean I have helped fund it and therefore I can claim it as a bit mine?

Oo wow! Ouch.. was he as nice as he comes across here?

anyone watching tonight??

Hope it gets finished

it's a watertower!

He was I am pleased to say. He was also very kind and allowed me to live in a gorgeous flat for half rent when my flat mate moved out and he put the place on the market at the same time.

Hope this works.

I'm seeing it all a bit fuzzy, have developed a spot where my glasses shold sit...

We recently had scaffolding and I keep looking at theirs and thinking how much it must cost as ours was ridiculous for 4 floors worth!

they gave a figure of 35ooo for the scaffold alone.

I'm getting dizzy just looking at the guys high up on the unfinished floors...

That's nice to hear Ouch..
Knowing that, i doubly hope he gets it done in time - before the lending of the surrounding access runs out.

35000 PER WEEK for the scaffold

ooh, I know what happens next. The dry spring ends and then comes the rain...

I know the walls are 6 ft wide in some places, but i'm sure i'd feel a bit vulnerable sleeping on the top floor, its a tower after all..
What floors' the loo on?

I wish I could build and spend like that and be like "yes money is worrying"....well not that much if you are spunking £35k on bloody scaffolding and if a "mate" is fronting you £500,000!!

How the other half live!

No, I don't think he said £35K per week for the scaffold.
I think he said £35K per week for all the works that were being done by everyone.

Nevertheless, scary sums of money - especially if he thinks he's going to run out soon.

Wtf, it's a water tower!

Where do you find mates who can lend you half a million?

Lol red I was thinking the same where do they find those sorts of friends and how ons earth do you ask someone to borrow half a mil...I'd be embarresed to borrow a fiver!

I really hope they pull it off, that it doesn't make them crumble.

red I have no idea, but do let me know when you find one and make the introductions!

It will cost a fortune to get the window cleaner in!
